    Abstract: Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate 
Programs (GEAR UP), created in the Higher Education Act Amendments of 
1998 (Title IV, Section 404A-404H), is a discretionary grant program 
which encourages applicants to provide support and maintain a 
commitment to eligible low-income students, including students with 
disabilities, to assist the students in obtaining a secondary school 
diploma and preparing for and succeeding in postsecondary education. 
GEAR UP provides grants to states and partnerships to provide services 
at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an 
entire cohort of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and 
follow them through graduation and, optionally, the first year of 
college.
