OREGON GEAR UP SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Beginning with the class of 2014, GEAR UP students will be eligible to participate in the GEAR UP scholarship program. Students who have engaged in GEAR UP activities, enroll in an accredited U.S. college or university, and submit an application through the Oregon Student Assistance Commission will be eligible for these awards.
Scholarships will be renewable for up to four years and award amounts will vary based upon several factors including the number of eligible students, and the value of the Pell grant at the time of award. The scholarships will be no less than the minimum Pell grant, which was $535 in 2009-10, but is expected to increase significantly over the next several years.
