The Arkansas Department of Education, Division of Elementary and Secondary Education is pleased to offer 2023-2024 equipment and materials grants for Advanced Placement (AP) courses.  A grant may be requested for an AP course being taught at a high school that has not recently received a grant for the course.  Since funds are limited, priority will be given to new AP courses that have not previously been offered at the school.  Grant awards will be a maximum of $1,000 each.  For the purpose of this funding opportunity, materials are defined as instructional items (books, manipulatives, etc.) and equipment as any necessary device (graphing calculators, etc.) directly related to the curriculum of the College Board Advanced Placement course. 

Applications must be submitted no later than Friday, October 20, 2023.  If a school is submitting more than one application (no more than three per high school), rank the applications according to priority for funding.  Applicants will be notified of their application status by Wednesday, November 15, 2023.  If approved, purchases should be completed as soon as possible to ensure students receive maximum benefit from the materials.  All proof of purchases must be received no later than Wednesday, January 10, 2024.  If documentation of purchases is not received by the deadline, grant funds will not be awarded.
