Upward Bound Classic Logo The Pre-College Institute has setup partnerships between federally funded TRIO programs, public schools, academic departments/research units at SDSU, and other institutions of postsecondary education in support of early intervention programs designed to increase college attendance and success and raise the expectations of low-income students.
GEAR UP
The Sweetwater Union High School District has earned a federal grant to improve the college preparation of 4,000 seventh grade students in seven high-need middle schools.

As part of an innovative partnership with San Diego State University and other local universities, colleges and community organizations, Sweetwater’s multi-faceted program will guide students in their academic journey from the 7th grade all the way to high school graduation.

GEAR UP—which stands for Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs—grants are designed to increase the number of low-income students who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary education. The program provides six-year grants to partnerships to provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools.
