and Other Higher Education Preparation and Support Service (HEPSS but 
more commonly referred to as TRIO) Programs will examine the 
feasibility of a promising practices study of Upward Bound that uses a 
rigorous quasi-experimental design. The design and feasibility report 
will develop a set of design options for conducting a study of Upward 
Bound and examine their applicability to studies of other TRIO 
programs. If a rigorous evaluation design proves feasible, the U.S.

between promising Upward Bound implementation strategies and student 
outcomes. This submission includes the justification and plan for the 
data collection of information and statistical methods for the design 
and feasibility study. It also provides an overview of the design and
