Introduction	GEAR UP Kentucky is focused on improving the skills of at-risk students and influencing their educational choices through enhanced guidance and support. GEAR UP also helps students prepare and plan for college and become aware of financial aid opportunities. GEAR UP works with partnerships of schools, colleges, businesses, community, and non-profit organizations. Partners provide early intervention services for students and work to transform the culture of a school so that every student is prepared for and encouraged to pursue college. Also, GEAR UP supports entire cohorts of students (all students in one grade), beginning in the seventh grade and ending the freshman year of college.
