GEARUP
Every Dream Deserves a Chance
GEARUP (Gaining Early Awareness & Readiness in Undergraduate Programs) is a federal college awareness and readiness initiative for economically disadvantaged youth administered through the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Post-Secondary Education.
This grant will provide supplementary educational services to more than 3,000 sixth and seventh grade students in 31 targeted CPS elementary schools beginning in January of 2009. GEARUP SCORES! will then follow this cohort of students over the next five school years until they become 11th and 12th graders fully prepared to 'take off from the educational runway'. The goal is for all members of this cohort to ultimately graduate from post-secondary educational institutions.
CYC is a partner in the Cincinnati GEARUP SCORES! Partnership led by the University of Cincinnati. Other partners include Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, Cincinnati Public Schools, and Parents for Public Schools of Greater Cincinnati.
TThe GEARUP SCORES! partners previously collaborated successfully on the Cincinnati GEARUP Success Partnership which served more than 4,000 CPS students in grades seven through twelve from 2002 through 2008.
