<p>What exactly is the AP Scholar Award? When can you get this award? I know a little bit that you are rewarded based on AP Scores, but is it based on the AP Scores for all 4 high school yrs, or one certain year, the 3 years (9-11) before you start applying for colleges?</p>
<p>The basic AP Scholar award is granted to students who receive scores of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams no matter when they were taken. There are other awards beyond this based on increasing numbers of exams and scores. </p>
<p>Any year including freshman year. The award is essentially for maintaining an average of 4 over 8 exams or more but needing a minimum of 4 on 8 exams.</p>
<p>Autumnal is right, you’ll win the award if you meet the requirements by the end of senior year, but it will be too late to put on any application.</p>
