    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 10th and 11th grade students attending Greeley Central, Greeley West, Northridge and Jefferson High School through their graduation from a District 6 high school.

Activities include a campus tour facilitated by current Metro State students, financial aid information, admissions information and learn about the wide range of support services available to all students attending Metro State University. Students interested in attending this event need to speak with their GEAR UP advisor at their respective schools.
