The USU-Eastern GEAR UP is a seven-year federal grant program that provides services and assistance for low-income students in order to help them successfully graduate from high school and prepare for college.

There is a Summer ACT Boot Camp that will be free and on a first come, first serve basis beginning June 5 through the 10. Students will be given the opportunity on the final day of the Boot Camp to take the ACT test. “Boot Camp is to help lead up to that test. So they can take while its all fresh on their mind. They have a whole week to soak in all this information, to take practice tests, to get one on one through workshops and classes that are actually taught by high school teachers and professors as well,” stated Flores.
