GEAR UP Application Packages for Partnership and State Grants (1894-0001)

Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP), created in the Higher Education Act Amendments of 1998 (Title IV, Section 404A-404H), is a discretionary grant program which encourages applicants to provide support and maintain a commitment to eligible low-income students, including students with disabilities, to assist the students in obtaining a secondary school diploma and preparing for and succeeding in postsecondary education. GEAR UP provides grants to states and partnerships to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve an entire cohort of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow them through graduation and, optionally, the first year of college. The purpose of the GEAR UP partnership and state applications is to allow partnerships and states to apply for funding under the GEAR UP program. Since OMB’s last review and approval of the package, the applications have been updated to include only the program-specific forms required for this collection. All standard forms that have already been approved by OMB and are not unique to this information collection, as well as additional information not directly related to the program-specific forms associated with this program, have been removed from the collection.

The latest form for GEAR UP Application Packages for Partnership and State Grants (1894-0001) expires 2029-08-31 and is listed under ICR 202606-1840-002.
