About

Confident that education paves the way to social equity, NCCEP advances college access through advocacy, training, and research. To fulfill this mission, NCCEP establishes community-education partnerships, strengthens research-based college access programs, and develops tools and resources to provide educational opportunities for all students. One of NCCEP's primary functions is to serve as an intermediary organization for public agencies, private and corporate foundations, and their grantees. Most significant of these efforts is the federally funded Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) initiative for which NCCEP serves as the national association. NCCEP works to elevate and encourage replication of GEAR UP's best practices and facilitates opportunities for GEAR UP programs and professional improvement to increase student success, high school graduation rates, and postsecondary enrollment and success.
