Chicago merit trip: competition rules

Chicago Trip Competition
All Upward Bound students may compete for one of 12 spots on our Chicago Merit Trip during Spring Break. The trip will be themed around math, science, and technology — but will also include lots of fun, tourist-y things.
The trip is scheduled to take place Monday, March 25 - Wednesday, March 27.
 
To be eligible:

• Students must come to at least 5 UB events per month starting in November 2018.
  • Tutoring, workshops, and field trips all count.
• Students cannot have any F’s on their end-of-semester report card in December 2018.
• Students cannot have any D’s or F’s at the spring grade check deadline of Feb 28, in any class.

To win:

• The top 12 eligible Math/Science students will be chosen based on their percentage grades in math/science classes.
• Students taking AP, Honors, or dual-credit courses will be given a 5% boost per advanced class, due to the difficulty of their classes.
• Students who attend more than 10 UB events per month (Jan/Feb) will also be given a 5% boost, due to their commitment to Upward Bound.
