Thank you for your interest in GEAR UP.

We are not currently adding any new schools as we are in year six of a seven-year cycle. We will apply for new funding in 2024 and will work on our program design and requirements over the next year. If there is an opportunity to apply to partner with us, the information will be sent to your superintendent and principal.

However, we have free resources available to anyone on this website. Feel free to use any of the materials you find there. Many of them are customizable as well.

Additionally, we have a weekly bulletin with updates on professional development, scholarships, and programs that support students and families in their planning for postsecondary education and financial aid. If you’d like to be added to the distribution list, please email bethk@wsac.wa.gov.
