Dual enrollment, referred to as "concurrent enrollment" in the School Code, is an effort by the Commonwealth to encourage a broader range of students to experience postsecondary coursework and its increased academic rigor, while still in the supportive environment of their local high school. The intent is to increase the number of students that go on to postsecondary education and to decrease the need for remedial coursework at postsecondary institutions. Dual enrollment is a locally administered program that allows a secondary student to concurrently enroll in postsecondary courses and to receive both secondary and postsecondary credit for that coursework. The local programs are run through partnerships between school entities and eligible postsecondary institutions. Pennsylvania's 2006-2007 state budget included $8 million to fund dual enrollment programs for high school students enrolled in higher education courses. The 2007-08 state budget increases the amount to $10 million. In order to receive grant funding for the 2008-09 school year, a school district or Area Vocational Technical School (AVTS) must submit an application by February 15, 2008. 2007-08 Dual Enrollment Districts Important Information Deadline for notification of Private/Nonpublic schools, Charter Schools and Home Education students of intent to offer a 2008-09 program - November 19, 2007 Due date for 2008-09 applications - February 15, 2008 Prior to completing the grant application, it is necessary that you read the Program and Grant Application Guidelines and complete the necessary requirements outlined in the guidelines.
