What is GEAR UP?
Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs
U.S. Department of Education
This discretionary grant program is designed to increase the number of low-income
students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. GEAR
UP provides six-year grants to states and partnerships to provide services at highpoverty
middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an entire cohort of students
beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow the cohort through high school.
UW Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity
The Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity (OMA/D), located on the main Seattle
campus, implements the University of Washington’s diversity initiatives. OMA/D’s
mission is to ensure the access and academic success of a diverse student population.
As the grant recipient for the GEAR UP Programs, OMA/D administers the program
with its main GEAR UP Management Office in the Yakima Valley. GEAR UP is one of
many programs OMA/D operates that advances the UW’s mission of increasing access
for diverse students going to postsecondary education.
