Introspect Youth Services, Inc., PATH
(Pursuing Academic Through High
School) Upward Bound Math and Science
Program is a precollege academic support
Program funded by the U. S. Department of
Education. The program engages high
school students in grades 9 through 12 who
are potentially first-generation (either adopted
or natural parents having obtained a
bachelors degree) college students from
low-income families in activities and services
designed to help them realize their potential to
excel in Mathematics and Science. Students
are encouraged to participate in various Science
and Mathematic events to increase their
motivation to pursue post-secondary
studies in science, technology engineering or
mathematics.
