GEAR UP works to support two cohorts of students (the class of 2024 and 2025, which this year happens to be 10th and 11th graders) and offers them the academic skills, information and encouragement they need to not only graduate from high school, but apply and attend an institution of higher education. 

PROGRAM GOALS
1. Increase academic performance and preparation for post-secondary education.
2. Increase high school graduation rates and participation in post-secondary education.
3. Increase GEAR UP students' and families' knowledge of post-secondary education options, preparation, and financing.
