7. Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs
Authorization
The GEAR UP initiative was authorized by Title IV of the 1998 Amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) and was signed into public law (P.L ) on September 29, 1998 by President Clinton.
State grants are competitive six-year or seven-year matching grants that must include both an early intervention component designed to increase college attendance and success and raise the expectations of low-income students and a scholarship component. In July 2012, NAU was awarded a State Grant for the period (PEPS included as a service in grant our application).
