History and Overview

Established at Wichita State University in September 2007, Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) has continues to provide academic support and financial literacy education to its participants via a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Veterans Upward Bound serves Veterans from Sedgwick, Butler, and Harvey counties. 

 The VUB program continues with the objectives to improve participants’ academic performance, to promote retention and completion of the VUB program, to assist participants in enrolling in a post-secondary institution, and ensure those participants who do enroll will graduate with an associates or bachelor’s degree. 

The Veterans Upward Bound Program is a free program available for veterans who are interested in reaching their academic and career goals.  The VUB is an educational and skills program designed specifically to serve the needs of today’s Veterans.  VUB’s goal is to prepare Veterans for a post-secondary education no matter which college, university or vocational/technical school that they choose.  VUB serves Veterans in three Kansas counties:  Butler, Harvey, and Sedgwick.
