Welcome to Gear Up at UW!

The Wyoming Statewide GEAR-UP project provides services to 2,000 low-income pre-college students through out the state each year. Student services include career exploration, advising and supporting students in taking a college preparation curriculum, college preparation, ACT preparation, college exploration, application, and planning, and assistance with financial aid processes and procedures. Student services are provided through GEAR-UP coordinators located at each of Wyoming's seven community colleges. The GEAR-UP grant also works with the Wyoming Department of Education in providing teacher training and school improvement initiatives. All GEAR-UP services are aimed at increasing academic preparation and performance levels suited for post-secondary education, rates of high school graduation, rates of post-secondary education participation and graduation, and GEAR-UP student and family knowledge of post-secondary education options, high school preparation needs, and means of financing.
