ISU’s TRiO Pre-College ProgramsUpward Bound (UB)Upward Bound Math and Science (UBMS)Educational Talent Search (ETS) Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math and Science programs hold a yearly 6-week residential academic program on ISu’s campus. The residential summer program this year runs June 16-July 26. The program consists of 120 students 9-11 grade students. Students are taking courses in:PhysicsChemistryForensic ScienceAnatomy and PhysiolgyZoologyAlgebra IAlgebra IIGeometryPre-CalculusEnglish 9-11Research WritingGerman 1101Comm 1101 TRiO also has 20 students participating in internships throughout the campus community. These high school students work 20 hours a week and are placed in math and science departments across campus. In addition, these students spend the rest of their day working on dual credit courses through a partnership TRiO has with ISU’s Early College Programs. Educational Talent Search program holds a yearly 3 day 9th and 10thgrade residential college experience where students come to ISU and participate in college preparation workshops on financial literacy, college planning, career planning, taking college preparation courses in high school. Also went through Yellowstone National Park on an educational tour, a place many students had never been despite living so close. This event took place June 25-27 and welcomed 90 students to campus. In addition, the ISU experience these students received they also received an educational tour of Yellowstone National Park, a place many students had never been before despite the proximity of the park to Eastern Idaho. Also, staff for all three pre-college programs put together 4th annual STEM DAY, this year partnering with the Idaho Science and Engineering Festival and CommUniveristy. This event brought 130 high school students to campus all day to partcipate in activities including:Lunch with a ScientistHands-on workshops on Electircal Engineering, Geology, Physics, Forensic Science, Mecahnical Engineering, and many more.This came together with the collaborative efforts of TRiO, Chemistry Department, Physics Department, ISU Credit Union, and planning committee for CommUniveristy.

This summer Bengal Bridge welcomes 31 students.The Bengal Bridge program went residential this year, to increase the chance of student success. All Bengal Bridge students are incoming freshman accepted for fall semester at ISU but place into remedial math or English courses. The summer program was set up to increase retention and college completion for these students that may have a high risk of academic failure. All students in the program are low-income college students that qualify for pell grants. They are taking 9 credits with a reduced tuition, housing, and meals the full pell eligible students have this first semester paid for with federal financial aid. This opportunity for students to get a head start is a great opportunity and so far shows very fruitful rewards, with required tutoring and supplemental instruction to increase their chances of academic success. Students also enhance their experience with a strong living learning community in the residence halls, an experience many low-income students never get to experience due to financial restraints. The Bengal Bridge program is unique to Idaho State University showing the commitment to Eastern Idaho’s low-income students.
