Funding Information

This funding is limited. RIDE will prioritize balancing participation across districts and session registrations. Therefore, RIDE may not be able to fund the total number of teachers for which an LEA applies. Depending on interest and demand, RIDE will grant AP Teacher PD grants to districts for payment of completed teacher professional development hours. Teachers must be paid according to the amounts outlined in this grant. 

Payments will be dispersed to the LEA following the completion of the AP Summer Institutes. LEAs are responsible for paying individual teachers. Confirmation of attendance and a grant award notification letter (GAN) will be sent to each LEA Superintendent, Fiscal office, and Building Principal. 

Pre-ap readiness workshop offerings

These workshops will not be offered for 2026.
