Students who pass Advanced Placement tests at Wilby High School in Waterbury will be getting hard cold cash rewards.

The students who pass their final AP tests next year will earn $100 for themselves for every test they pass.

The cash rewards are part of a new program to expand student participation in Wilby's Advanced Placement program. It is funded by a $451,113, grant from the National Math and Science Initiative.

In applying, Wilby Principal Robyn Apicella committed to doubling the current 112-student enrollment in AP classes.

The grant will not only pay out the cash rewards, but will pay for additional teacher training and new equipment.
