ABOUT GEAR UP
Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) is committed to increasing the number of underrepresented students from low-income backgrounds who enter and succeed in postsecondary education. In partnership with Anaheim Union High School District, the project serves a cohort of students beginning the 7th grade and follows their successes through high school graduation. Cal State Fullerton has received three six-year grants from the U.S. Department of Education since the GEAR UP program began in 1999.
OUR MISSION

Provide on-time intervention to ensure academic success and increase student and parent knowledge of postsecondary options and financial aid
-
Develop a college-going culture among school sites and among families
