The Colorado GEAR UP program provides a comprehensive college preparatory program aimed at addressing at-risk student academic weaknesses through intensive remediation, college readiness, and concurrent enrollment. Colorado GEAR UP II (CGUII) was a federally-funded grant that ran from 2005 to 2012 and served low-income and first-generation students in 12 high schools across the state. CGUII students receive a $10,000 scholarship for postsecondary enrollment.
