FSU's CARE program gets $3.5M to strengthen Upward Bound in Gadsden, Jackson counties

A Florida State University program that helps and inspires Gadsden County students to finish high school and college is about to get bigger and stronger.

FSU’s Upward Bound will receive about $3.5 million from the U.S. Department of Education to continue to build its decades-long Gadsden County operations and to expand to Jackson County, said DeOnte Brown, assistant dean of undergraduate studies and director of the university’s Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement, or CARE, which oversees the program.

CARE will receive about $2.1 million for Upward Bound in Gadsden County and about $1.4 for Jackson County. Both grants cover five-year cycles.
