SCRIBE for GEAR UP
SCRIBE is a secure, web-based longitudinal data management system designed specifically for GEAR UP. Since 1999, it has supported state and partnership grants nationwide in tracking students, families, and educators, while aligning directly with the U.S. Department of Education’s Annual Performance Report (APR) and Final Performance Report (FPR) requirements.
Key Features
Comprehensive Tracking
Capture demographic, enrollment, academic, test score, attendance, discipline, service participation, FAFSA, scholarships, high school graduation, and postsecondary enrollment/persistence data.
Enter records manually or through bulk imports from Excel/CSV. SCRIBE integrates with Student Information Systems (e.g., PowerSchool and Synergy), state longitudinal systems, National Student Clearinghouse, FAFSA ISIR files, and third-party partners like Tutor.com, Student Success Agency, and SignalVine.
Flexible Data Entry & Integration
Embedded, Interactive Dashboards
Real-time, interactive data dashboards visualize enrollment, participation, and outcomes data. Subgroup analysis and drill-downs make patterns — and gaps — immediately clear.
Powerful Reporting
With over 160 built-in reports and exports, SCRIBE supports APR/FPR reporting, service monitoring, match tracking, scholarship tracking, survey analysis, and custom report development
