The $1,000 scholarships assist teachers with the cost of registration fees and a daily stipend for attending the AP Summer Institute. For a teacher to qualify, one of these must be true of the teacher's school:  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) The Summer Institutes are hosted by colleges and universities throughout the nation and the State of Florida and 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. Each 2012 College Board AP Fellow will be offered a scholarship of $1,000 to attend a College Board–endorsed AP Summer Institute.  The College Board has a deadline of February 15, 2012. Many of our teachers will qualify for the AP Fellows Program and are strongly encouraged to submit the 2-page application. The AP Fellows Application and recommendation form can be found at http://professionals.collegeboard.com/k-12/awards/ap-grants.</p><p>Contact: Ms. Montserrat Paradelo, District Supervisor ( 305-995-1934 ) Department: Division of Mathematics, Science, and Advanced Academic Programs</p>
