The University of Washington GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness & Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) Project is part of a national effort to help students from low-income families prepare for and succeed in higher education.
The RISE UP/SKY GEAR UP partnership addresses the educational needs of low-income, at-risk students in the Yakima, Skagit and Klickitat Valleys by providing activities, information, and the educational opportunities and support necessary for students to be successful in college.
