GEAR UP is an initiative that was passed by Congress in 1998, and helps disadvantaged middle school students go on to college. GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) partners students from low-income schools with colleges and universities to help build an education pipeline for students to realize their college dreams. Since its enactment, 577 State and partnership GEAR UP grants have been awarded. Currently, GEAR UP serves more than 6 million students in 48 states, the District of Columbia and three territories. Almost $2 billion in federal funds has been appropriated to the GEAR UP program. Policy experts point to GEAR UP as one of the most innovative educational programs on record. H.R. 3317 – GEAR UP
