A college-prep program offered in high schools. Time consuming, but they do get to go visit colleges pretty often. Generally used to make everyone else feel like shit because they aren't in it. Where there is one UBer (person in UB) there will be at least 3 more in the immediate vicinity. Generally, UBer's act like they are better than everyone else because they get to go to L.A. for a week here, SF for a week there, and because they are upheld as the best thing on the f'ing earth. Ironic because for all they do to prepare for college in that class, the number one in the graduating class isn't in UB.
UBer 1: OMG you remember when we went to LA and that random hobo came up to us and blahblahblah?
UBer 2: Yeah, OMG that was so funny. Haha, look at that loser-we're in Upward Bound, so we're so awesome!
The non-UBer valedictorian: Bitches. Who's awesome now?

Get the upward bullyingmug. Rising in social status by virtue of one's grace and generosity of spirit, inherent qualities having nothing to do with money, fame or possession.
With the re-ordering of social values resulting from the epidemic and the market crash, he increasingly found himself invited to the best parties, asked to speak in a spectrum of venues, and was quietly made aware of his upward nobility.
