What Is GearUp?
GearUP is a national initiative aimed at encouraging high school students to pursue post-secondary education.

"Creating a Vision" is a local program directed by the Office of Special Programs at Texas A&M International University. Our Program works with a cohort of 7th graders until these students reach the 12th grade. This program focuses on early intervention and college prep.
