Scholarships to Attend the APSI

Each year, the College Board awards scholarships for qualifying teachers to attend an AP Summer Institute (APSI). For additional information, please visit the AP College Board webpage available here.

AP Fellows Program - Applications to open in December 2024!

AP Fellows is an annual competitive grant program that provides AP Summer Institute scholarships for teachers at high schools serving minority or low-income students who have been traditionally underrepresented in AP courses. The $1,000 scholarships cover the cost of APSI tuition and lab fees (if applicapble). Remaining funds, if the APSI was in-person/on-site and after the tuition has been paid, will be sent to the teacher to be applied toward travel expenses.

SCHOLARSHIP CRITERIA:

Teachers must:

• Plan to teach an AP course in the 2025 - 2026 academic year.
• Teach in a high school at which at least 50 percent of the student population consists of underrepresented minorities and/or at least 50 percent of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch.
• Not have received a College Board APSI scholarship for the same subject within the last three years.

AP Rural Fellows is an annual competitive grant program that provides AP Summer Institute scholarships for teachers serving in rural areas of the country. The $1,500 scholarships cover APSI tuition. Remaining funds, if the APSI was in-person/on-site and after the APSI has been paid, will be sent to the teacher to be applied toward travel expenses.

SCHOLARSHIP CRITERIA:

Teachers must:

• Plan to teach an AP course in the 2025-2026 academic year.
• Teach in a high school that is classified as "rural" by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) and at which at least 50 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch (in 2020, all islands of Hawaii, except Oahu, will be considered “rural” regardless of the NCES data).
