Student Resources

The Indiana GEAR UP program helps provide students with resources to succeed academically and prepare for college and careers. Below are some links to some useful resources.

BRIDGE TO COLLEGE PROGRAM

Bridge the gap between high school and college by visiting a college campus in-person for an in-depth look at college life. This exciting experience will allow you to interact with college professors/staff, connect with and learn from current college students, and have fun participating in engaging activities and making lasting friendships along the way. The coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated that possessing a degree or quality credential is more important than ever, and the Indiana GEAR UP Bridge to College Program will accelerate your path toward success!

For 2022-2023, we are offering one-day programs throughout the school year. Details will be posted as they become available. Check back here or follow us on social media @IndianaGEARUP for updates!

Please contact Jean Trusedell at jtrusede@purdue.edu with any questions.
