This month has been huge for GEAR UP college readiness. Not only is October College Application Month, it's also FAFSA Completion Season! Because of this, we have been hard at work making sure our students are prepared when it comes to applying for college.
Additionally, our social media drive is still underway, and we have begun to release a series of helpful videos on our YouTube channel for high school seniors and other GEAR UP students.
Read more about all these exciting events and more below! Happy October!
College Readiness
We have released a wide variety of college readiness resources for our GEAR UP students this month, including College Corners, a College Information Booklet for seniors, and several YouTube videos aimed towards helping students apply to Nevada institutions.
Last week marked the beginning of our weekly College Corners. For an introduction and explanation of the College Corners and our goals for students, see our Instagram post here.
We are also proud to be sending out college information booklets to our high school seniors this month. Each booklet contains information on every NSHE institution, and encourages students to find a location, major, and school that they believe fits them best.
Finally, our YouTube channel has been bustling with activity this month with the addition of our college application videos. Each video features an in-depth tutorial on how to apply to each NSHE institution, and are available for students to view at any time. To see the videos, click here.
Social Media Drive
Our GEAR UP NV social media drive and swag giveaway is still underway, and we are excited to show new students what we have to offer. Be sure to follow @GEARUPNV on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Tik Tok, and Twitter to be the first to know about new events and videos (like this one filmed by Jana)!
