The GEAR UP Grant at Fairmont State
In 1999, Fairmont State was awarded a $21 million GEAR UP partnership grant to serve 47 schools in nine WV counties for six years. In 2005, the partnership was continued with a new six-year grant, an additional $31 million, and an expanded area which now includes 56 schools in 14 counties. Currently the GEAR UP grant serves 22 high schools. During years 1-3 of the grant, an additional 27 middle schools were served. GEAR UP, which stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs, is a federally-funded grant designed to:
