The Institute for Public School Initiatives (IPSI) at the University of Texas at Austin focuses on increasing post-secondary opportunities for public school students. Through evidence-based practices, IPSI collaborates with students, families, educators, and communities to enhance access and enrollment in higher education.
Operating within the College of Education, IPSI aligns its efforts to address challenges in education and health. By offering professional development programs and services, IPSI supports students in achieving academic success, enhances college awareness for families, and equips educators with rigorous training to promote student readiness and success.
One of IPSI's key initiatives, UT GEAR UP, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, targets low-income students to improve their preparedness for postsecondary education. The program offers various resources, including summer programs such as camps and personal development activities, to engage middle and high school students in academic enrichment.
