MARIA'S STORY
Maria Ibarra, a current student at Carnegie Mellon, is studying Public Policy and credits the support of GEAR UP for helping her graduate high school and college. She speaks of her role in giving back to others in the Rio Grande Valley. Ms. Ibarra says, “Coming from a family who never had a high school graduate and a college graduate, I truly believe that college education is the key to your future, and that GEAR Up can help you get there.”
