Steps to Apply

Step 1: Submit an Interest Form

Access the online Interest Form to submit your responses. If a paper format is preferred, please contact your high school counselor to inquire about the TRIO UBMS Interest Form. 


Step 2: Pre-Selection Interview

Once we have received your responses to the Interest Form, a Pre-Selection Interview will be conducted either in person or over the phone. This will allow us to determine your candidacy to proceed with our application, which is a lengthy process.

Step 3: Complete Application

I've applied, what's next?
