Students
You can go to college!
GEAR UP activities around the state may vary, but all services are designed to do two things: help you graduate and go on to some form of education after high school. People with degrees frequently have higher job satisfaction and earn significantly more than adults without one.

GEAR UP helped me my first year with things like books, signing up for other programs,
completing the FAFSA, and being somewhere I could go to just talk if I needed to.
