2011 Grant Update

GEAR UP Grant Continuation 2011 and beyond

We are sad to announce that Maine has not been chosen as one of the states to continue to receive GEAR UP funding. We are looking into alternative routes of financial support. Please contact us if you have any suggestions. Maine is committed to supporting youth in pursuing their career and college goals. office@syntiro.org
