Community Efforts
One of our strongest beliefs is in helping people and contributing back to the
community. That's why we get involved. We're the first to offer Partnerships to
GEAR UP grants across the country, donating a portion of our software and
services to those in need.
GEAR UP is a grant program designed to increase the number of low-income students
who are prepared to enter and succeed in postsecondary
education. GEAR UP provides six-year grants to states and partnerships to
provide services at high-poverty middle and high schools. GEAR UP grantees serve
an entire cohort of students beginning no later than the seventh grade and follow
the cohort through high school. GEAR UP funds are also used to provide college
scholarships to low-income students.
We sponsor the AAC Student Recognition Programs at Colorado State
University, the first ever provided to TRIO students in our region. The AAC is a
SSS grant program that provides services to 275 low-income, first generation, and disabled students annually. In the 2007
academic year, 54% of AAC participants who entered CSU in 2002-2003 graduated
with a bachelor's degree within five years. Over 30% of participants maintain a
cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. These extraordinary accomplishments are
celebrated each year with a Honors Reception for students maintaining a 3.0
cumulative GPA or higher. Heiberg Consulting is proud to sponsor both of these
events.
Newspapers in Education is a nationally recognized collaboration between
community sponsors, local newspapers and schools. It provides local schools with
newspapers and other educational materials that enhance learning through
real-life experiences relevant to the students' daily lives. Through Newspapers
in Education we are able to provide 2,000 newspapers to area classrooms each
year.
