Aloha and welcome to the GEAR UP Hawaii website. GEAR UP’s mission is to increase more of Hawaii’s middle school and high school students' awareness of, preparedness for, and enrollment in postsecondary education. It is a critical program of Hawaii P-20 Partnerships for Education to assist in leading education reform efforts to help meet the state's goal of 55% of working age adults holding a two- or four- year college degree by 2025.
