MASP's Bound programs are a year-long experience that aims to support the lived and individual experiences and achievements of first-generation college students and members of historically underrepresented communities.听Application to these programs is open听to all 91福利社 incoming first-year students in the College of Arts & Sciences who seek to engage in a diverse, multicultural learning community.

Students who are accepted and participate in the Bound Programs will receive a $2000 participation stipend, $1000 in Fall 2025听and $1000 Spring 2026.听
