Education Secretary McMahon Makes AI a Formal Grant-Selection Priority Across Department Discretionary Programs
A 33-page final rule scheduled for Monday publication establishes "Advancing Artificial Intelligence in Education" as a Secretary's Supplemental Priority for every discretionary grant the Department of Education runs. Grant competitions can now designate AI literacy or AI-integration work as an absolute, competitive-preference, or invitational priority — steering federal education dollars toward AI training, tools, and teacher-prep programs.
