Hoosier students named State AP Scholars

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - West Lafayette Junior/Senior High School student Mohit Agrawal and Carmel High School student Helen Yu have earned the designation of State AP Scholar by the College Board in recognition of exceptional achievement on the college-level Advanced Placement Program (AP) Exams

The recognition of State AP Scholar is granted to the one male and one female student in each U.S. state and the District of Columbia with grades of 3 or higher on the greatest number of AP Exams, and then the highest average grade (at least 3.5) on all AP Exams taken.

“The State AP Scholar award represents many years of dedicated study,” said Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Suellen Reed. “Mohit Agrawal and Helen Yu should be applauded for this achievement.”

The College Board’s Advanced Placement Program offers students the opportunity to take challenging college-level courses while still in high school, and to receive college credit, advanced placement, or both for successful performance on the AP Exams. Students took AP Exams in May 2007 after completing challenging college-level courses at their high schools.

The College Board is a not-for-profit membership organization whose mission is to connect students to college success and opportunity. For more information on the AP Scholar Awards, visit http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/program/initiatives/2057.html.
