GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness & Readiness for Undergraduate Programs)

A program dedicated to eliminating the achievement gap and assisting low-income
middle school and high school students aspire to, plan and prepare for
post-secondary schooling. 
 

GEAR UP provides five-year grants to States and partnerships to provide services
at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an entire cohort
of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow the cohort through
high school.

 

GEAR Up at Maywood Middle School is filled with academic trips all year long and
throughout the summer. We are able to offer an extensive tutoring program, weekly
career guest speakers and a variety of other college preparatory resources.  In
2007-2008, the GEAR UP program will serve the 8th grade class at Maywood Middle
School and will follow the students through Corning High School.
