GEAR UP

student with a teacherAs an active partner in Greater Buffalo GEAR UP, the Medaille College GEAR UP program, now in its eighth year, improves the ability of low income youth to prepare for college, graduate from high school and earn post-secondary degrees. Through the program, low income and at-risk youths are motivated to stay in school and take rigorous courses to prepare themselves for success at post-secondary institutions.

GEAR UP promotes improvement in a number of student success factors, including enrollment in college prep courses, school attendance, student retention rate and parental involvement.
