Abstract
Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) is a federally funded college readiness program developed to minimize the inequalities in pursuing postsecondary education. This is a systematic review that analyzed 13 studies on the educational outcomes of GEAR UP and identified activities that are positively correlated with educational outcomes. The results showed that included among the studies observed were positive contributions of GEAR UP on academic, behavioral, social, and employability outcomes. Further, academic and community activities such as tutoring and college tours were positively associated with college-going expectations, college-readiness assessment scores, and high school grade point average (GPA). Additional studies are urgently needed to include different subgroups of historically underrepresented groups and to investigate how GEAR UP continues to influence college persistence.
