“A year ago my son wasn't sure wht he waqnted to do with his future, let along think about college. He came home from school talking about how this awesome lady from GEAR UP helped him apply [for financial aid]. It was the light he needed to light the spark.”

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“GEAR UP allows our students to visit a variety of campuses across our state, from community colleges and public universities to private colleges, helping them discover their college 'best fit.' Without GEAR UP, students would miss key components of their post-secondary aspirations, planning, and preparation.”
