Letter from Mark Kennedy, the Kentucky State Coordinator, for your review:
GSA is a tuition-free residential summer program for passionate and talented young artists from across the Commonwealth. GSA Alumni receive access to scholarships at nearly 30 colleges/universities, as well as life-long mentorships and a transformative summer experience.
Current high school sophomores and juniors are invited to apply for our 2021 summer program in one of GSA's nine artforms:
The application for GSA 2021 opens in early November and is due January 10. As many schools are familiar with the application process for our sister program, the Governor's Scholars Program (GSP), it is worth notig that the GSA application process is very different from GSP's. There is no school nomination process of GSA applicants; rather, students complete an online application for GSA that includes recommendation forms completed by school administrators and teachers.
Please visit www.kentuckygsa.org to learn more about eh application process, including dates for a series of virtual info sessions GSA is hosting throughout the fall. Questions can be directed to gsainfo@kentuckyperformingarts.org, or directly to Nick Covault at 502.566.5218 or ncovault@kentuckyperformingarts.org.
SPRING 2021 AP EXAM INFORMATION
AP
EXAM FEE: $95
Fee
waivers are available if you qualify for free/reduced lunch. There will be a
place to mark that in the online registration account.
Current SBDM policy states that students that score a 3 on the AP exam are eligible for one letter grade increase on their final course grade. Scores of 4 or 5 are eligible for up to 2 letter grade increases. Transcript changes occur once AP scores arrive and are processed in the fall.
Payment: We are using Total Registration to handle our AP exam payments this year. Students must create an account and login to register and pay for their exams. This will provide students with the option to pay with a credit card (students may also pay by debit card, check, or cashier’s check if they want/need to). Students previously using Total Registration in years past or to register for the PSAT will already have an account and will click ‘login here’ at the bottom of the site.
There will be a link on our school website “AP EXAMS” that you can click on or you can access the registration site directly at www.TotalRegistration.net/AP/180200.
Enroll/Register: Students must enroll in their AP courses and mark their intent in the CollegeBoard’s MyAP system. Students registering for an AP exam must mark their exam indicator to yes. This is done at MyAP.CollegeBoard.org. You will login with your existing College Board student account (if you have previously taken AP, PSAT or SAT exams) or you will create a new College Board student account. You should have already created an account and joined your course with the code given to you by your teacher by the first week of the course.
*Note: Total Registration is used to record payment while
CollegeBoard's MyAP Classroom is used to mark intent for the actual order. One
cannot be completed without the other.
DEADLINES
Fall/Full Year Courses: Students currently in a fall or full year AP course at Marshall County High School must register and pay for exams by Friday, November 6. The registration window opens October 13,2020.
