Idaho grant to open college doors


Idaho’s state education board got an $18 million grant which the board will use chiefly to provide scholarships to college for graduates of high schools with predominantly low-income students. While about 80% of eligible kids graduate from high school in Idaho, only 40% go to college. Idaho is funding up to four years of scholarships to try to change those numbers. I found the story from KVFI TV, Channel 6, Pocatello-Blackfoot-Idaho Falls.
