AP Grants
Financial support for building AP programs
Offering an AP program that adequately prepares students for the AP Exams and college requires dedication, vision, persistence, and of course, financial resources. Quite often the financial requirements of offering college-level instruction prevent schools from initiating or broadening their school's AP programs. How can you start an AP program or expand a nascent program with limited resources?
The Relationship Development Equity and Access Initiatives Department currently offers one competitive grant that provides financial assistance to schools and teachers interested in expanding access to AP. College Board AP Fellows provides $100,000 in aid for professional development to teachers of Advanced Placement courses. Although all teachers are eligible and encouraged to apply, teachers in schools that serve minority and/or low income students who have been traditionally underrepresented in AP courses are given preference.
