| The GEAR UP program is a discretionary
grant program designed to increase the number of low-income students
who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education.
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
funds are also used to provide college scholarships to low-income
students. |
