Program Performance Plan

Program performance plans describe the goals and intended outcomes of U.S. Department of Education programs and initiatives. Annual targets and strategies, along with measures for monitoring progress, are published in performance plans prior to each fiscal year. The plans also include actual performance data showing whether targets were met in previous years. The FY 2009 performance plan for this program, including program performance measures, historical program data, and targets, as of February 2008, may be accessed through the link below.

Annual Performance Report

New deadline for submitting APRs:

For most regular Upward Bound projects and all Upward Bound Math-Science projects, reports were due January 30, 2009.

For regular Upward Bound projects with December 1, 2007 start dates, the due date remains February 27, 2009.

The online APR data collection Web site became available December 15, 2008.

Background: Requests for public comment on the revised annual performance report format for the Upward Bound programs appeared in the Federal Register on February 13 and June 16, 2008; the Department revised the report in a number of ways in response to comments received. After TRIO made further changes occasioned by the Higher Education Opportunity Act (enacted on August 14, 2008), the Office of Management and Budget approved the APR on September 8, 2008.

Preparing your APR: Grantees in all Upward Bound programs are required to submit their 2007-08 APRs via a new and more robust online Web application; links are available from the Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math-Science "report" pages. The form and instructions for the APR, with minor corrections in response to grantees' questions, are now available in text and PDF versions for your reference. Frequently Asked Questions are also available.

Grantees received a letter from Geraldine Smith, Team Leader for the College and University Preparation Team, providing further information on submitting the APR.
