New York State GEAR UP
Program Update
The Bronx Institute/New York State GEAR UP program at Lehman College continues to provide the students of The Bronx with high-quality services and programming, designed to engage, support, and inform both students and families, while increasing academic outcomes.
Last semester, students participated in a wide range of college preparation activities, including college-level coursework, as well as STEM, financial aid literacy, and social development workshops. Families and teachers at Bronx Institute partner schools also had the opportunity to participate in financial aid and professional development workshops.
One of The Bronx Institute’s (BI) primary objectives is to close the achievement gap in The Bronx, while introducing students and families to the concept of a “college-going culture.” Through an innovative slate of programming and the support of NYSGU, we are moving ever closer to fulfilling that mission.
