Some advanced high school students in need of a challenge may become uninterested in their classes. As a result, one state has launched an initiative that may combat this problem.

According to the Associated Press, Idaho might award college grants to high school students who graduate early. The legislation is intended to entice high-achieving students to jumpstart their undergraduate education. College grants and scholarships are important tools for helping to offset the cost of higher education.

“There’s a fair amount of wasted time,” Representative Steve Thayn, a Republican from Emmett, Idaho, told the news source.

The proposed bill will allot as much as $1600 to each student for every year they graduate early. The monetary incentive is also being used to give young learners who may be hesitant to miss their prom and other important senior events a push. This money could also be used for online degree programs.

Lawmakers from both major parties are in favor of the college grants. “We spend a lot of time talking about the bottom third and we should, but we do that to the detriment to our higher-achieving students,” Representative Brandon Durst, a Democrat from Boise, told the news source.

According to a study conducted by the Editorial Projects in Education Research Center, more than three-quarters of Idaho students graduate in four years.

Other avenues to explore when researching how to pay for online school include online college grants and Pell grants.
