AP Participant Grants

Learn about participant grants for AP Summer Institutes.

College Board awards grants for qualifying teachers to attend an AP Summer Institute (APSI). The application form is open March–June or until all grants have been distributed.

Who Is Eligible

To qualify you must:

  • be teaching a course for the first time in the 2027-28 school year, or be teaching a course that will be revised for the 2027-28 school year
  • not receive professional learning funding from your school, district, or state

What Participant Grants Cover

AP participant grants cover tuition for College Board–endorsed AP Summer Institutes in the United States and internationally. 

All other APSI costs (including but not limited to travel, lodging, food, or graduate credit) are the responsibility of the grant recipient. 

AP participant grants don't cover the AP Annual Conference or other workshops.
