Welcome!
RCMS to be DEFUNDED! ACTION NEEDED!
Upward Bound Math and Science Centers are federally-funded TRIO programs, administered by the U.S. Department
of Education and located at educational and non-profit organizations through out the nation, designed to help
low-income and first-generation students overcome the barriers that block them from accessing
and succeeding in post secondary educational programs.
The Regional Center for Math and Science (RCMS) is
located at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. The RCMS is a part of the
TRIO and Precollege Programs Department
(TRIO & Precollege).
Program Description
The RCMS is a federally funded, six week residential pre-college program,
designed to enhance and enrich high school students' understanding of science,
mathematics, and the nature of scientific research. The Center's emphasis is
on the health sciences. Careers in medicine, nursing, physical therapy,
medical research, and the like, will be explored.
The Center's goal is to increase the math and science skills of high school
students in order to prepare them for a university program of study in the
sciences, mathematics or engineering.
Students MUST reside and currently be a sophomore in any high school in the
six-state Federal Region V which includes: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and
Wisconsin. One or preferably both of the following criteria MUST be met:
-
POTENTIAL FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENT - participant comes from a family
where neither parent has earned a four-year college degree
- LOW INCOME - participant's family income is at or below federally
determined low income levels.
Additionally, students must have a 2.3 or higher cumulative GPA (on a 4.00
scale), and have a goal of entering a postsecondary institution of choice
(either a university or technical school).
