Veterans Upward Bound
A free educational resource for Military Veterans of Central Kentucky
Veterans Upward Bound
Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) is a federally funded TRIO program by the U.S. Department of Education. Its mission is to prepare and support military veterans in developing the academic and personal skills needed for success in post-secondary education. The program aims to increase the number of veterans who enroll in and complete college programs. All services—including instruction, books, and other resources—are provided completely FREE OF CHARGE to eligible participants. You do NOT have to plan to ATTEND WKU in order to take advantage of VUB's services.
Support a Deserving Veteran’s Educational Journey
Due to federal regulations, Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) is unable to use its Department of Education grant funds to provide scholarships. To address this, we have established an external scholarship fund supported entirely by generous contributions from individuals and organizations who share our commitment to helping veterans pursue higher education.
We warmly welcome donations to the Veterans Upward Bound Scholarship Fund. Contributions are deposited into a dedicated interest-bearing account. As the fund grows, we are able to provide financial assistance to more veterans—and in greater amounts—to help cover essential educational expenses.
These scholarships directly benefit veterans enrolled in post-secondary institutions. Eligibility is not limited by school choice; any veteran participating in the VUB program may apply for assistance.
All donations of $5.00 or more are gratefully accepted. We are happy to provide written
acknowledgment of your gift for your tax records, upon request.
