The Veterans Upward Bound program at Roosevelt University has been in existence since 1995, and is the first of its kind in the state of Illinois. VUB is committed to assisting veterans from all eras obtain the education they deserve.

In order to find success in today’s society, many veterans are required to enhance their skills. As a result, post-secondary education is often the key to starting a new career. Veterans Upward Bound (VUB) is a free-of-charge program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, that helps veterans to prepare for enrollment at the college of their choice.

VUB’s primary mission is to provide veterans a unique pre-collegiate experience designed to remove the apprehensions that some veterans, as non-traditional students, may have about entering postsecondary education.

Upon successful completion of the VUB program, veterans are not only familiar with the services and resources that would be available to them as college students, but more importantly, they'll possess a renewed confidence in their academic abilities. Consequently, they are more likely to complete a program of higher education and benefit from its opportunities.
