Illinois Steps AHEAD is a college prep program under the purview of GEAR UP (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs). We focus on academic progress and growth as well as career exploration and college preparation.
We work with both parents and students to support youth through the college process. For example, we support students in completing financial aid forms, and help look for scholarships and understanding the college admissions process. Additionally, we coordinate college tours and assist students with college essay writing. Students who participate in the program for all four years of high school can earn scholarship money for college!
We also make sure that students maintain academic standards through
- tutoring
- homework help
- test prep
- skill building workshops
- field trips
