Great news!

Chan Zuckerberg Initiative aka CZI is a charity created by Facebook founder and his wife, Priscilla Chan that plans to give away cash to help millions of students go to college.

A two-year partnership with The College Board expands access to unique, personalized learning pathways that will help millions of students prepare for key college gateway tasks tests like the PSAT, SAT and Advanced Placement courses that will help students go to college.

The initiative underwrites research on student motivation and achievement, which encourages educators to praise students' effort, not just their IQ ratings.

This focuses on students of lower-income and in rural areas, the organizations. https://chanzuckerberg.com/

CZI builds on a previous collaboration with a popular online venture. https://www.khanacademy.org/
