All About
Welcome to GEAR UP Maine!
GEAR UP is all about helping Maine students in grades 7-12 be successful in school and enroll in college. We also support students in the first year of their post secondary experience.
The Maine State GEAR UP grant was awarded to The University of Maine at Farmington by the U.S. Department of Education. UMF will serve as the award’s fiscal agent, with Syntiro, a non-profit based in Readfield, providing the administration.
GEAR UP is supported by the grant from the U.S. Department of Education and the contributions of many community partners. We have a unique collaborative partnership with MaineCAN, FAME, and MELMAC, promoting college access throughout the State.
GEAR UP Maine has 53 school partners located in Aroostook, Franklin, Hancock, Kennebec, Oxford, Somerset, and Washington counties.
In addition to working with GEAR UP schools, we offer college readiness resources to all of Maine middle and high schools and support statewide initiatives like College Application Week.
