What is the Pre-College Enrichment Programs?
The University of Tennessee Knoxville College Education, Health and Human Science's Enrichment Programs is a group of six TRIO programs providing educational, career, and student financial aid / scholarship services. The programs are funded through the U.S. Department of Education under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965 and all services are FREE.
Pre-College Enrichment Programs has been a part of the University of Tennessee Knoxville since 1980 when Dr. Ernest Brewer, Principle Investigator / Project Director, obtained funding for his first TRIO Program, Talent Search. Over the years, Dr. Brewer has expanded UT Federal Programs to include other TRIO Programs offering a wider range of services and reaching thousands of individuals needing assistance in pursuing their educational goals.
UT Federal Programs include Pre-College Upward Bound, Academic Enrichment
Upward Bound, Math & Science Regional Center, Veterans Upward Bound,
and Educational Opportunity Center. Services are provided primarily
to individuals whose parents do not have a four-year college degree
and/or whose family's taxable income meets specified U.S. Department
of Education guidelines.
