GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs) is a federally funded program that helps students prepare for college and future careers.
Through a partnership between San Jacinto College and Galena Park ISD, students gain the knowledge, skills, and support they need to graduate from high school and succeed in college.

Provides academic support and resources to help students succeed in high school and prepare for college.

Guides students through graduation planning, college applications, and the transition to college or career training.

Connects students and families with information about college options, financial aid, and career planning so they can make informed decisions about the future.
Our community partnerships expand educational opportunities and help students prepare for college, careers, and life after high school. Together, we provide academic support, college and career exploration, family engagement, and mentoring.
By working together, we help students gain the knowledge, confidence, and resources they need to continue their education and achieve their goals. We also strengthen partnerships among schools, families, and the community to support every student's success.
