New York, NY, March 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) announced today that it has been awarded a $600,000 grant from
American Student Assistance® (ASA), a national nonprofit that helps foster student understanding of career and education pathways. NFTE intends to use the unrestricted funds to support the rapid expansion of its entrepreneurial education curriculum in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina beginning January 2021.
As part of that expansion, NFTE’s programs will be available for the first time in rural areas of Florida and Texas. The grant also aligns with a significant investment from the Florida Department of Education in support of career and technical education tracks, many of which incorporate NFTE’s project-based curriculum.
