AP Credit from Purdue - they give college credit for scores of 3-5 on both AP CSP and AP CSA tests.
AP Credit from IU - they give college credit for scores of 3-5 on both AP CSP and AP CSA tests.
AP Credit from U Michigan - depends on the college to which you apply (engineering, liberal arts, music/theater/dance). For CS, you will get credit only for a 4-5 on the AP CSP exam or a 5 on the AP CSA exam.
Notre Dame, on the other hand, does not give college credit for any AP CS test though they do give credit for other APs.
scholarship opportunities:
CSTA / ACM Cutler-Bell Prize: The 2022-2023 Cutler-Bell Prize looks to recognize up to four high school senior students residing in the U.S. for their projects in CS. Winners will receive a $10,000 prize to go to their college/university of choice.
summer jobs/internship programs - a student in '23 did a successful internship with Science Central. I have reached out to BAE, Essex, and Kinetec without results so start looking early!
