Students will travel to various colleges and universities to participate in hands-on activities and gain a deeper understanding of higher education. The trip will also allow students to explore campuses, providing them with firsthand experience and more options when choosing a college or university after high school graduation.
Our objectives for this intercession are:
- To enhance the academic performance and postsecondary preparation of participating GEAR UP sophomore students, providing them with information on college fit and readiness.
- To raise educational expectations for participating students and increase student and family knowledge of postsecondary education options, preparation, and financing.
Students will participate in various field trips, including an HBCU and potentially an out of state college. Please note that there is a possibility that a field trip may run past school hours. We will notify parents in advance to arrange transportation.
