3451 DanShefflerVAUSI think upward bound is an excelent program and funding should be increased, not reduced.
3452 MichaelaDaystarCAUSPresident Bush seriously underestimates the contributions programs like TRiO make to communities all over the country. When the children of a community are allowed to fail, we all suffer. The TRiO programs at Mills work and are valued by our community. These programs also benefit military veterans. It is particularly discouraging to see that, while the Bush administration is doing all it can to send more youth into the military, they are continually reducing the kinds and levels of support for those who have searved their time and are ready to rebuild their lives. This war is destroying our capacity to take care of our own people, and it is time we stood against further deterioration of our future.

3457 TENATACKETTKYUSi have had one child go 3 years to upward bound and living a very successful life now. i now have another son that is going for his second year that has a very good gpa and is planning on college entrance after his senior year not only did the program help him academicly but it also helped him mature and grow as a young adult. i feel it would be a hinderence to our young to cut funding for a very successful program dont take the chance for a lower income family to make something of himself

3490 BelindaBrockVAUSI am a student in the talent search program at my high school and I think it is a wonderful progrm. I can honestly say that without the help of talent search I dont see how I would have ever figured out everything I needed to know about appying to and paying for college. I also think that this program could help many more students just like me.
