OBR Funding

Thanks to continued support from the Ohio Board of Regents and the State of Ohio, high schools will have the opportunity to allow their students to participate in the Ohio EMPT Program. The program is free of charge to high schools as well as students. The Ohio Board of Regents, via the Ohio Legislature, has funded the Ohio EMPT Program for the current biennium at a level that allows any Ohio high school to participate as well as incorporating all Ohio state-supported four-year universities and selected two-year and private colleges.

The potential of the Ohio EMPT Program is exceptional. We can save taxpayers and parents of college bound students thousands of dollars in eliminating unnecessary remedial instruction. In addition, we are insuring that high school students get the best possible academic preparation for college level mathematics courses. We have also helped to establish a valuable dialog among high school mathematics teachers and guidance counselors and college mathematics faculty throughout Ohio.
