The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has provided $2.5 million to fund the College Knowledge Challenge, a competitive grant initiative for free and low-cost Facebook applications designed to make the college-going process more transparent, collaborative, and easy to navigate for low-income and first-generation students. The competition is administered in partnership with College Summit and other organizations.
