August 2012 AP Grants FROM PAGE 7 “Advanced Placement participation
is an important element in creating a college-going culture in our high schools,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. “AP courses help students develop the study skills, critical reasoning and habits of mind that prepare them for the transition to college. They give students -- particularly first-generation college-goers -- the confidence that they can successfully handle college-level work.”
By subsidizing test fees for low-income students, the program is intended to encourage those students to

take AP tests and obtain college credit for high school courses, reducing the time and cost required to complete a postsecondary degree.
“These funds will help eliminate
financial roadblocks for more low-income students and allow them to fully benefit from the AP program,” Duncan said.
The grants can be used to help pay
for low-income students taking AP tests administered by the College Board and the International Baccalaureate Organization.
Levels of funding per state were determined on the basis of state estimates of the numbers of tests that would be taken by low-income students.
