Education Department Awards $28.4 Million in Grants to Help Low-Income Students Take Advanced Placement Tests
The U.S. Department of Education announced today (8/12/2014) that it has awarded $28.4 million in grants to 40 states, Washington, D.C., and the Virgin Islands as part of its efforts to boost college and career readiness for historically underserved students. The grants will help defray the costs of taking advanced placement tests for low-income students.
"We know that when students of all backgrounds are held to high expectations they excel. High school instruction needs to become more rigorous to foster college and career-readiness, and provide multiple pathways to success in order to prepare students for the 21st century global economy.

The grants are used to help pay for low-income students taking approved advanced placement tests administered by the College Board, the International Baccalaureate Organization and Cambridge International Examinations... READ OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE (source) - DOWNLOAD PDF (calie).
