About GEAR UP - Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs
What is GEAR UP? The Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) initiative is one of the largest and most effective programs focused on increasing the college and career readiness of low-income students in communities nationwide. GEAR UP is a highly competitive grant program that helps empower local partnerships comprised of K-12 schools, institutions of higher education, state agencies, and community organizations to achieve three strategic goals: (1) increasing the postsecondary expectations and readiness of students; (2) improving high school graduation and postsecondary enrollment rates; and (3) raising the knowledge of postsecondary options, preparation, and financing among students and families. GEAR UP GIPS is proud to be the first program in the state of Nebraska!
For more information about GEAR UP GIPS, contact the Director, Dr. Allison Bailey.
