DESCRIPTION:
Middle and high school students, parents, community leaders and TRIO Program graduates from around the Los Angeles area will gather to show their concern and support for the nation?s Federal TRIO Upward Bound and Talent Search Programs and GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness Regarding Undergraduate Programs).

To bring attention to President Bush?s proposed elimination of the Upward Bound and Talent Search TRIO Programs, as well as GEAR UP in his FY2006 budget proposal, TRIO students and alumni, parents, college graduates, educators and community leaders have organized an informational rally and demonstration on Monday, March 7th that will begin at 6:00pm at the corner of Hollywood and Highland Boulevards in Los Angeles.

TRIO Program alumni and current Upward Bound and Talent Search students will address the gathering, speaking of how these programs have made a tremendous impact in their lives.

Upward Bound and Talent Search serve more than 455,000 high school and middle school students and military veterans across the country. Millions of students have gone on to college and become productive, tax-paying citizens after completing these programs during the nearly 40 years of operation.

In California alone, more than 47,000 high school and middle school students would lose their college opportunity programs and more than million in federal funding would be lost under the Bush administration?s proposed 2006 budget.
