<p>When is one qualified for national AP scholar? Will the collegeboard contact the winner through any mean? And when will the info be released?</p>
<p>As soon as you achieve it. Some students earn it after their tests junior year, but more earn it after senior year. The certificate is mailed to your home in the fall after you achieve it.</p>
<p>My daughter received her “AP Scholar with Distinction” news today.</p>
<p>Yep, I also got an email today that I am an “AP Scholar with Distinction”.</p>
<p>My DS also got "AP Scholar with Distinction:.</p>
<p>“National AP Scholar–Granted to students in the United States who receive an average score of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.”</p>
<p>I just learned of my AP Scholar status today by e-mail, so around mid-August is when you can expect to hear of your awards.</p>
