GEAR UP families are planning ahead for college success. 🎓

During a recent family session, parents learned more about the financial side of college, including FAFSA, in-state and out-of-state tuition, living on campus vs. at home and the hidden costs that can come with earning a degree.

By understanding the full cost of attendance and planning early, families are better prepared to support their students through their undergraduate journey. Thank you families for joining us in preparing students for college and careers!

Research, leadership and a meaningful spotlight moment. ✨ Sharyland ISD junior Matilde Curiel presented research on Understanding Triple-Negative Breast Cancer in Rural Hispanic Communities to representatives from local clinics, DHR Health, UTRGV - The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and other community partners.

Every student needs the knowledge to make confident financial decisions. Through learning experiences and activities, students are building real-world skills in budgeting, saving and planning for their future - because financial literacy is a pivotal part of college and career readiness.
