The New Hampshire GEAR UP Alliance is a community-based initiative that helps under-represented students prepare for and succeed in college. We engage a broad coalition of colleges and universities, schools, businesses, and volunteers to develop students’ academic and life skills.
The New Hampshire GEAR UP Alliance is a partnership between the New Hampshire College & University Council and Campus Compact for New Hampshire. These organizations administer two GEAR UP grants, GEAR UP New Hampshire and GEAR UP Manchester.
