Welcome to GEAR UP at UW!

 Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) is a federally-funded, statewide grant in Wyoming that provides services to 2,000 seventh through twelfth grade, income-eligible students each year.

The GEAR UP goal of increasing the number of eligible students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education is accomplished by:

• providing academic support, college preparation, and family services through our GEAR UP offices located in each of the seven community colleges in Wyoming.

• providing educator training and school improvement initiatives through a partnership with the Wyoming Department of Education.
