To ease the transition and to provide continued support, GEAR UP Coordinators follow their middle school cohort into high school. Coordinators serve as a case manager and help to prepare all students to meet the high expectations for college admission and graduation, thus helping to level the playing field for the neediest of students and families. Colorado GEAR UP provides students and families with the infor¬mation, resources and academic support necessary to finish high school and gain admission to college. Those who successfully complete the program and meet certain qualifications will be eligible for a GEAR UP scholarship to help pay for their college education. The first new class of GEAR UP scholars will graduate from high school in 2011 For more information, please visit Colorado Gear Up or contact:
