The mission of the National Council for Community and Education Partnerships (NCCEP) is to develop and strengthen broadbased partnerships throughout the education continuum, from early childhood through postsecondary education.

 

The Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) were created in 1998 during the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to encourage more young people from low-income families to consider and prepare early for college. Currently, GEAR UP serves 1.2 million students in 47 states, the District of Columbia and three territories. The program can be found in all but three states: Idaho; New Hampshire; and North Dakota. In now its seventh funding year, GEAR UP has received almost $1.2 billion since its creation and has 280 partnership grants and 36 state grants.
