College Preparation for Wyoming Students

GEAR UP Wyoming's mission is to help Wyoming students in 7th-12th grade succeed in their journey to higher education. Through this federally-funded college preparation program, we support thousands of income-eligible students each year, offering academic assistance, college preparation and family services.

With offices located at each of Wyoming's seven community colleges, we're here to guide and empower students to achieve their goals and thrive in college. Let us help you get ready for a bright future!
