This series comprises individual student files for those enrolled in both Upward Bound and Talent Search programs. Documents include applications, household tax information, test results, health forms, worksheets, student art, some correspondence, student evaluation forms, and "bowl scores". Students that were in the Upward Bound program earned "bowl score" numbers, which are used by the DDC staff to measure student participation and overall success in the program. This series was originally organized by the program and year. However, for access purposes, the files have been rearranged in alphabetical order by the student's last name. Files for a student from multiple years have been combined into one file per name.
