Next Generation Learning Challenges

Next Generation Page Header

  • Help make education better for the millions of students who need it most
  • Improve and adopt the most promising technology-enabled solutions for student success
  • Collaborate with others committed to college readiness and completion
  • Contribute to a body of knowledge about what works, openly available to all
  • Help facilitate transformative change that will benefit individuals, families, society, and our economy

Next Generation Learning Challenges (NGLC) is a collaborative, multi-year initiative focused on identifying and scaling technology-enabled approaches to dramatically improve college readiness and completion, especially for low-income young adults. NGLC, therefore, addresses college readiness and completion as a continuum of interrelated issues spanning secondary and postsecondary education (grades 6-16). The program provides grants, gathers evidence about effective practices, and works to develop a community dedicated to these persistent challenges.

Read the recent press release detailing the third wave of NGLC funding, totaling $12 million.

NGLC re-imagines the future of student success with IT as an essential enabler, making customized, interactive learning possible. IT also makes it possible to extend the reach and multiply the benefits of such innovations for the thousands of students who need them most. By participating in NGLC - as a grant seeker, a potential adopter, or a community member - EDUCAUSE members can spotlight their own innovations, shape IT innovation in today's educational institutions, and contribute to our growing body of evidence about "what works" in support of improving college readiness and completion in the U.S.

Next Generation Learning Challenges is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. EDUCAUSE leads the program, working with the League for Innovation in the Community College, the International Association for K-12 Online Learning, and the Council of Chief State School Officers.
