Correction: The February 7 issue of Straight A’s incorrectly reported that Academic Competitiveness and National SMART grants would receive $60 million in the president’s fiscal year 2007 budget request. The correct total is $850 million, which is an increase of $60 million over last year. The editor apologizes for any confusion this error may have caused.
