College and Career Planning

A fundamental focus area of the GEAR UP national effort is college and career planning for first generation college students and students from high-needs areas.

Through each of our summer and academic year learning activities as well as through our professional development and support services for parents, our SciTEC team is committed to identifying and distributing high quality planning materials and resources. These materials and resources help stakeholders collaborate to ensure student success.

Below you can learn about costs and financing college. Then learn about our outstanding college and career planning team and about some of the resources available to our partner districts and students.

Leadership

An essential to each facet of our SciTEC GEAR UP programming is leadership. In order for students to be successful, they must embrace their personal and professional strengths.

They must also be able to utilize them not only to meet their goals but to lift and encourage those around them. Our team infuses leadership into each offering and promotes personal and professional growth.
