STEVENS POINT -- The Upward Bound program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point received its funding reprieve with just less than three weeks before closing.
The U.S. Department of Education reinstated the program's funding for the next five years. Upward Bound, which prepares low-income students for college, will receive just more than $414,000 from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31, 2017.
