The Charles Koch Foundation donated nearly $12 million to Arizona State University (ASU), the nation s most innovative university, according to U.S. News & World Report. A press release from the Koch Foundation said that the grant money would be used to develop programs for students to more effectively pursue their own individualized and self-defined learning goals. One sponsored initiative is a stackable credential system that would allow students â particularly low-income and working students â to accumulate industry-specific credentials and customize their higher-education experience.
According to Connecting Credentials, a stackable credential is a certificate awarded as part of a sequence of credentials that can be accumulated over time to build up an individual s qualifications. The stackable nature of the credential means that it can be completed in tandem with other certification courses as the student progresses in his career.
