GEAR UP Graduate Services

Support for high school graduates.

About

Washington State GEAR UP students can continue to receive career and college support for up to one year after high school graduation. 

HOW DO I CONNECT?

Contact your GEAR UP Advisor or other high school support staff.  

Connect with on-campus GEAR UP peer mentors, who can provide support if you attend one of our partner colleges: Wenatchee Valley College, Centralia College, or Grays Harbor College.

Use OtterBot, a free, legit, 24/7 financial aid and college planning texting service. It provides personalized assistance, reminders about deadlines, and answers to your financial aid questions. To get started, students can text “Hi Otter” to 360.928.7281, and parents can text “Hi Otter” to 360.634.0354.

  • Student Services and Campus Resources Charts >> Locate and contact information for common, helpful campus services and resources on our partner campuses.
  • Transition Task List >> Identify upcoming tasks, deadlines, and resources to assist you in completing your work for our partner campuses this summer and fall.
  • Not attending a partner college? Connect with your high school GEAR UP Advisor for support throughout the year.
