GEAR UP strives to significantly increase the number of first-generation students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education.
ASU GEAR UP, funded through the U.S. Department of Education, serves the class of 2024 cohort at Glendale High School, Tempe High School, Tolleson Union High School, Washington High School, and Westwood High School.
My favorite parts about GEAR UP are the opportunities to be involved with the programs and having assistance every step of the way. Without the program, I wouldn’t know about all these amazing opportunities that have helped me create a strong future.
