                                 ______


                           HON. MARCY KAPTUR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 1, 1994

  Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker. On February 28, the students, faculty and 
staff at the University of Toledo celebrated Upward Bound/National TRIO 
Day. This all-day event recognized the past successes of the 
University's Upward Bound Programs and built support for the future.
  In our community the TRIO program has made a tremendous difference in 
the lives of so many of our young people. We often talk about the 
financial barriers to a college education; but we ignore the fact that 
there are social barriers as well. The TRIO program breaks down these 
barriers and gives students the knowledge and self-confidence they need 
to both afford college and succeed once they arrive.
  The Upward Bound Program at the University of Toledo is the vehicle 
which gives students the hope and skills they need to succeed in 
college. By providing information and counseling, academic instruction, 
tutoring, assistance in applying for financial aid, encouragement and 
support, the Upward Bound Program helps students help themselves.
  Congratulations to all those involved in the University of Toledo's 
Upward Bound Program for all their excellent accomplishments.
