Nassau BOCES, along with nine initial participating school districts, is the only New York State BOCES recipient of the full Advanced Course Access Grant funding! This 2-year grant includes: 

• funding for approximately 150 enrollments per year for advanced courses
• support for school counselors to help identify new pools of students who, based on data, are likely to succeed in advanced coursework
• College Board training for district teachers to enable them to teach and have their students succeed in advanced coursework 

*New for 2022-2023 SY*

Nassau BOCES was given permission by NYSED to include students and teachers throughout New York State in its Advanced Course Access grant.  Participation is targeted at increasing enrollment in and availability of advanced courses, especially for under-represented populations, and with an emphasis on advanced courses in the STEM areas.  The grant funds provide no-cost enrollments in AP courses, TOR support of SUNY Empire State courses and tuition for teachers to attend College Board-sponsored workshops.
