Educator and Student Opportunities from the College Board
For
educators:
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
toolkit for schools to help spread the word to students.
Thank you for your commitment to serving
Texas students.
