Student & Family Resources
Studies show that college graduates make over $1 million more in their lifetime than adults who only have a high school diploma or GED. For some families, however, college might still feel out of reach. From making sense of college admission standards to figuring out financial aid, the process can seem daunting. GEAR UP is here for 12,000 students across Oklahoma to ensure that college-hopeful students can access every resource they need to become college grads.
