Jennifer, I need to see if I kept the info I had from when I wrote a research paper about the benefits to schools from allowing the use of alternative credit. I was told, possibly by our friendly ACP rep on fb, that the beta-program partner institutions received between $5,000-$10,000 as a bonus, paid for basically by "[URL=https://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Alternative-Credit-Project.aspx"]the generous support of a $1.89 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates[/URL]".
I believe it was also listed here, but I don't see it currently: https://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/A...tions.aspx, where, interestingly, Charter Oak is listed as the 5th partner in 2014.
Actually I believe $10,000 is an accurate amount based upon announcements such as this one:
"The American Council on Education Alternative Credit Project awarded a total of $1.86 million to schools. CMU Global Campus officials said they received a $10,000 grant."
