We are concerned with the higher-order nonlinear three-point boundary value problems:

with the three point boundary conditions
; 

where
is continuous,
are continuous, and
are arbitrary given constants. The existence and uniqueness results are obtained
by using the method of upper and lower solutions together with Leray-Schauder degree
theory. We give two examples to demonstrate our result.
