A state in the US is giving high school kids cash. They can only spend it preparing for college
“One study (pdf) found that 66% of students who take college credits in high school complete college within six years, compared to 54% of students who don’t. According to another study from the University of Iowa, students who earn college credit while still completing high school were 10% more likely to graduate from college than those who didn’t.
This policy might be the most useful for students from low-income backgrounds—students whose parents did not attend college were 12% more likely to complete college if they earned college credit while in high school, the Iowa study suggested.”
