Upward Bound Projects are included in a system of eight federally funded educational opportunity programs support limited income and potential first generation college graduates. A longitudinal study reported that Upward Bound Programs have not influenced at-risk participants' abilities to persist through high school graduation and enroll in postsecondary education. Research suggests the problems relating to behavior may contribute to some Upward Bound students' inability to maintain the resiliency required to meet program objectives. Students served by Upward Bound Programs may also attend school environments where student behaviors are connected to low achievement undesirable learning environments. As a result, Upward Bound students may be unaware that certain behaviors are related to their lack of success. In order to address this possibility, a character education program was infused through an Upward Bound Program in search of students' feedback on their perceptions of the program. Character education programs have provided positive results in expanding the academic achievement of struggling students who possess the potential to succeed in high school and motivating them to pursue higher education. This single-case study design examined the perceptions of eight at-risk Upward Bound students who have participated in an infused character education program. Each participant represented a unit of analysis. Multiple sources of evidence included data provided by eight Upward Bound students from focused interviews, direct observations, and participant observations. Data was gathered and coded into themes, discovering students' perceptions. Confident learner perceptions, positive postsecondary attendance perceptions, and favorable academic support perceptions emerged as themes, which revealed that students related the character education program to embrace student success and their resolve to persist through high school graduation and enroll in postsecondary education. Future research on character education programs in Upward Bound Programs should include expanding the number of students included in studies. Additional research should include interviewing parents, and obtaining feedback from Upward Bound teachers and staff members to better inform Upward Bound practitioners on how to correct student behaviors that represent barriers to academic achievement.
