OXFORD – Thanks to a generous donation by Christopher and Jennifer Hansen to the Oxford Academy Central School district, 10 students have the chance to participate in a series of SAT preparation courses.

“We’ve always tried to help out by donating money ... but we wanted to make an impact directly on a community we grew up in,” said Jennifer Hansen. “We want to provide access to tools that aren’t necessarily available to students.”

When the Hansens discovered there were no SAT prep courses in the area, they decided to work with the Kaplan program to set up the opportunity. In the first class, the couple is sponsoring 10 students for the $500 admission cost.
