GEAR UP

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Education designed to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in post-secondary education.

The GEAR UP grant will help build a college going culture within our schools by supporting college visits, career exploration and academic planning.  This 7-year partnership provides additional mentoring, advising, and tutor support to current 9^th and 10^th grade students attending Greeley Central, Greeley West, Northridge and Jefferson Junior and Senior High Schools through their graduation from a District 6 high school.
