AP Fellows Grant

AP Fellows Program

Providing AP* Summer Institute Scholarships to AP* secondary school teachers

The AP* Fellows program is an annual competitive grant program that provides scholarships for secondary school teachers to attend AP* Summer Institutes. AP* Summer Institutes provide an excellent opportunity for teachers to gain command of a specific AP* subject and to receive up-to-date information on the latest curriculum changes. Scholarships are available to teachers from schools that serve minority or low-income students who have been traditionally underrepresented in AP* courses. The $1,000 scholarships assist teachers with the cost of attending an AP* Summer Institute. For a teacher to qualify she/he must teach at a school that meets at least one of the following criteria:

•Fifty percent or more of the student population must consist of traditionally underrepresented students of color (African American, Hispanic, or Native American)

•Fifty percent or more of the student population must consist of students whose average family income level is equivalent to, or below, the national annual average for a low-income family of four (approximately $36,000)
