Education Week: The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced more than $90 million in grants to support networks of schools' work to help students of color and low-income students into college—marking its first major wave of K-12 giving since announcing a significant change in direction last fall.
The 19 grants announced today will support improvements in everything from middle school language arts, to the perennially thorny problem of Algebra 1, to solving the problem of "undermatching,"—when high-achieving, low-income students select colleges that are less ambitious or rigorous than what their track records qualify them for.
