the College
Board Fellowship Program is an initiative to identify, recognize, and
reward rising leaders of color who are especially effective in closing the
achievement and attainment gaps that separate African American, Latino, Asian
Pacific and Native American students from their white peers. The Fellowship
program will provide emerging leaders of color with a formal mentorship,
fully funded travel to the College Board Forum and a one-time one-year $5,000 award
to support the work that they are doing to improve educational opportunities
and outcomes for students of color. We are seeking a diverse group of people
ages 28-45 representing both K-12 and higher-ed; from the worlds of practice,
policy, research, and advocacy; representing all regions of the country as
well as rural, suburban, and urban areas. Applications are due May 18, 2018.
For
students:
the annual #Collegiance Campaign for students has launched. #Collegiance
celebrates high school students making their college decision by encouraging
them to pledge their #Collegiance on Instagram. Students who create an original
and creative Instagram video, Boomerang, or photo will be entered for a
chance to win one of 10 cash prizes. The winners will be selected by media
and film professors from College Board member institutions. Student
submissions are due on May 15, 2018. You can find more information about the
competition here: https://pages.collegeboard.org/collegiance and there is
also a digital

TEA UPDATE ON AP/IB EXAMS
The exam fee subsidies for May 2018 AP/IB exams will be $24 per AP/IB exam
taken by eligible students.
Historically, there has been a state subsidy of $30 per AP/IB exam taken by eligible students, plus a federal subsidy ($16 per eligible AP exam, $65 per eligible AP Capstone Exam, $65 per eligible IB exam). The federal subsidy was eliminated with the passage of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). Therefore, LEAs should plan on receiving only a state subsidy in the amount of $24 per exam taken by eligible students.
For more information, please read the To the Administrator Addressed letter: Texas Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate Incentive Program - State Exam Fee Subsidies for the 2017-2018 School Year
For questions regarding AP/IB announcements, please contact Lauren Dwiggins at AP-IB@tea.texas.gov or 512-463-8864.
