Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs

At CSUF GEAR UP, we are a federally funded initiative committed to increasing college and career readiness for students in communities with limited resources. Through strong partnerships with schools, universities, and local organizations, we provide early access to the tools, resources, and experiences students need to thrive.

From middle school to college enrollment, we’re here to support students and families every step of the way.

Partnering with Schools That Need it Most

GEAR UP is designed to serve schools where college access is often out of reach due to longstanding obstacles. At CSUF GEAR UP, we support students at high-need campuses by working hand-in-hand with teachers, administrators, and families to close opportunity gaps and create pathways to higher education.
