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 - DUE Tuesday, February 14, 2023 

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 2023 - 2024 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
2023 AP Fellows Recommendation Form: Form to be completed by the applicant's principal, assistant principal, department head, or staff member who assigns courses.
 

AP Rural Fellows Program - DUE Tuesday, February 14, 2023

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 2023-2024 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)

2023 AP Rural Fellows Recommendation Form: Form to be completed by the applicant's principal, assistant principal, department head, or staff member who assigns courses. 
 

What do the scholarships cover?

The College Board APSI scholarships cover the cost of tuition and lab fees (if applicable) at a CollegeBoard endorsed APSI fitting the criteria of the scholarship. After APSI sessions start, APSIs invoice the College Board directly for the cost of tuition and lab fees (if applicable). The College Board then pays the tuition cost directly to the APSI. 
 
Remaining funds for both Fellow and Rural scholarships, 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.
 
*Please note: Scholarship only covers the cost of tuition and lab fees (if applicable) up to the scholarship amount; all other APSI costs, including but not limited to tuition cost above scholarship amount, lodging, and food, are the responsibility of the scholarship recipient and should be billed to the scholarship recipient, not College Board.
 
Kentucky Teachers: For those who qualify, check with your local AdvanceKY and GEAR UP representatives for more information about opportunities for financial support.
