• GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a six-year grant from the federal government. 
  • The focus of the grant is to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. 
  • The mentors working with the GEAR UP students will have the opportunity of continuing the mentorship over the course of the six years.
  • The students will be concentrating on choosing careers and determining a postsecondary education pathway during this time.
