AP Fellows

2010 College Board AP Fellows Program
The College Board AP Fellows Program awards Scholarships to secondary school teachers who will teach AP courses in schools that serve economically disadvantaged students and /or traditionally underrepresented minority students. College Board AP Fellows recipients will be offered a scholarship of $1000 to attend a College Board Endorsed AP Summer Institute (APSI) during the summer of 2010. The scholarships assist teachers with the costs (e.g., registration fees and travel expenses) of attending a week-long APSI for professional development. College Board AP Fellows scholarships cannot be used to attend the AP Annual Conference, to participate in one- or two-day workshops, or to purchase classroom materials.

To qualify for a College Board AP Fellows scholarship, a candidate must plan to teach an AP course during the 2010-2011 academic year at a secondary school that meets at least one of the following requirements:

• Has 50 percent or more traditionally underrepresented minority students (African American, Hispanic, or Native American)

Or

• Has 50 percent or more students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals.

The College Board AP Fellows Program is a competitive scholarship program requiring the submission of a strong essay. Only applicants who meet one of both of the above criteria will be considered. This year's application is an online submittal only. The application can be found at: http://professionals.collegeboard.com/k12/awards/ap-grants/fellows
