AP Teachers Across Tennessee Receive Grants for their Classrooms
Celebrating our 2022 Mini Grant Recipients! Dozens of Tennessee AP teachers received grant money for supplies, resource books and activities, computer programs, and tech needs for their classrooms. Almost 25% of the recipients teach in rural Tennessee school districts. We are so thankful for all their hard work. Mini grant opportunities will be available again next year!

YOU'VE GOT GOALS.
SO DO WE.
Create a Culture of Advanced Placement Throughout the State of Tennessee
Give 5,000 Students Access to Online AP Courses
Each student has access to the best possible learning technologies, as well having guest classes from industry professionals. We believe this better prepares your child for their careers or own businesses.
College Board Training of Teachers Across the State
We believe in equipping your children with the skills to be able to learn for the rest of their lives! By instilling in them a method of analytical thinking, we believe they will be able to be independent thinkers and be high performers in their chosen careers.
By 2023, AP Access for All will implement a sustainable program that provides access to well-designed, engaging online Advanced Placement (AP) courses; addresses opportunity gaps that exist among underserved regions of Tennessee; and supports the development of a statewide high school culture that values and encourages rigorous preparation for college and career readiness.
As a rural high school, the Niswonger online courses have not only strengthened our course offerings but opened doors for our students. Courses that we cannot possibly offer to our students in our brick and mortar building are now available.
The Niswonger Online classes allowed me to take all the AP/Honors courses I wanted PLUS band, without any worries of scheduling conflicts.
The Niswonger Foundation has allowed me to take a class that has never been offered at my high school. I know this will help me when I start college and I’m so thankful for that.
