Political Quotes

“college has become outrageously expensive and forced students and families to take out huge loans or forgo higher education entirely. That is why many high schoolers choose to take AP and IB exams, where they can earn college credit at much less expense. Unfortunately, it is hard for students to find information on which colleges award credits for certain AP and IB exams. A lot of students show up to their chosen school and only then realize that their credits are worthless. That is why I am introducing the COURSE Credit Act with Representative Jeff Van Drew. This commonsense, bipartisan legislation directs the Department of Education to collect and publish detailed information on AP and IB credit policies at colleges and universities. It also requires colleges and universities to publish the same information on their own websites. This will give students, families, and counselors a quick and easy way to see how much credit they will receive for their AP and IB exams at any given college, allowing students to choose a school where they can make the most of their hard-earned credit.”
