We believe that young people who start planning in middle school have a better chance of entering college and completing their degrees. GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) works with educators to help middle and high school students get ready for college and gain access to financial aid.

GEAR UP's Three Objectives are:

  1. Increase academic performance and preparation for postsecondary education.
  2. Increase high school graduation and postsecondary participation rates.
  3. Increase students’ and their families’ knowledge of postsecondary options, preparation, and finances. 

The state GEAR UP program offers many resources for parents and students looking ahead to life after high school. Go to www.gearup.wa.gov.
