About GEAR UP
This grant program is designed to increase the number of students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. GEAR UP provides six-year or seven-year grants to states and partnerships to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an entire cohort of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow the cohort through high school.
THECB 60x30TX Strategic Plan
GEAR UP aligns with the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) 60x30TX strategic plan to position Texas among the highest-achieving states in the country and maintain its global competitiveness. The 60x30TX goal is that 60% of young adults ages 25 to 34 in Texas will hold some type of postsecondary credential by 2030. Watch the following video to learn more about the 60x30TX plan.
