Organized by

VSAC’s Vermont State GEAR UP serves 7th through 12th graders in 37 middle and high schools across the state. Each year, we serve about 2,500 middle/high school students and 300 college freshmen. We also provide outreach to our student’s families, helping to make sure they have the postsecondary planning information—and the financial support—they need to best support their students throughout their education journey. VSAC’s GEAR UP program also provides resources and support to 6 state partners. These combined efforts serve to enhance local school and state-wide efforts to improve the career and college readiness of Vermont students.
