GEAR UP Parent
"I am very grateful for GEAR UP and everyone who works with the program, they are very kind and if you have any concerns or questions they always help you. I love it because you get parents and students involved and you give more than enough information about scholarships so our children can apply to go to college and have a better professional career in the future. Two of my children are in the program at the jr. high and high school and they love all the activities they organize. My daughter came home very happy after attending a 3 day camp they had to take the ACT test. I also loved the first Parent Retreat because I learned that GEAR UP helps families and students find out what different scholarships colleges have, and also the importance of encouraging our children to take college concurrent enrollment classes in high school."
