Texas A&M University-Kingsville GEAR UP Partnership
In the south Texas cities of Corpus Christi and Kingsville, the Texas A&M University-Kingsville GEAR UP Partnership (TKGU) will serve the most at-risk middle schools in the area by providing students with services intended to boost their school attendance, performance, and college readiness through the end of their senior year in high school. The project will provide for age-targeted approaches to furthering college readiness and attendance by implementing strategies like after-school tutoring, financial aid advisement, career counseling, college visits, and summer academic programs. Things just keep on looking up in the South…
