The College Assistant Migrant Program, now in place at CSU-Pueblo, was designed to provide assistance to students who are migratory or seasonal farm workers, or children of such workers, get into college.

For nearly 30 years, the Upward Bound program has been providing educational support to local high school students — who come from low-income and first generation families — in hopes that participants will succeed in their precollege performance and ultimately in their higher education pursuits, said Upward Bound Director, Ismana Carney.
