🎓 What is GEAR UP?

GEAR UP — Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs — is a college and career readiness program designed to help students prepare for success in high school, college, and future careers.

Through GEAR UP, students and families receive opportunities to explore college and career pathways, academic planning, financial aid, STEM experiences, mentoring, tutoring, college visits, workshops, and leadership development.

Our goal is to help students set high expectations, stay on track academically, and understand the steps needed to achieve their postsecondary goals.
