About this program
The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded the most recent Advanced Placement Program grant on September 1, 2016 (CFDA 84.330), making this program inactive for new solicitations as of today's date. The program funds Advanced Placement test fees for low-income students and related state and local capacity-building efforts to increase AP access and participation in high-poverty schools.
Recent grant awards focused overwhelmingly on covering AP test fees for eligible students. Representative 2016 awards included $11.1 million obligated for test fee coverage under Project Grant S330B160015, $3.5 million under S330B160032, $2.7 million under S330B160023, and smaller awards ranging from $17 thousand to $810 thousand. Earlier 2014 awards followed the same pattern, with the largest at $27.8 million (S330B140004) and others at $14.8 million (S330B140031) and $5.6 million (S330B140026). The program historically awarded grants to state educational agencies (SEAs) and, under one variant, to local educational agencies (LEAs) and national nonprofit educational organizations with AP expertise. All 651 awards in the portfolio are Project Grants.
The Department of Education was the exclusive funder across all awards. The program has distributed $443.7 million in federal dollars since 2001, with recipients providing $1.3 billion in non-federal match or cost-share, bringing combined obligations to $1.72 billion. Award activity remained consistent at approximately 40–57 awards annually from 2011 through 2016.
No grant opportunities have been posted since May 2011. The most recent posted solicitation was the Advanced Placement Incentive Program (CFDA 84.330C) with a due date of May 16, 2011, which targeted SEAs, LEAs, and national nonprofit organizations to support expanded AP participation in low-income student populations.
