What is GEAR UP?



GEAR UP is a federal grant program, which means that Troy Public Schools receives money for certain services, field trips, supplies, and more to help its students know what they need to be successful in high school and plan on continuing their education once they graduate.  This could be at a 2 year college, a 4 year university, a certificate program, a tribal college, or a college of technology.  Students will learn about these options as well as how to stay in school, research scholarships, talk to current college students, visit colleges, listen to talks by professionals in a variety of careers and much more!  A committee of teachers, administration, and parents meet monthly to plan GEAR UP activities for students.
