Form 990 Part I Line 1.................... The College Board was formed in 1900 by 12 colleges and universities seeking to expand access to higher education and democratize the application process for students by developing the first common college entrance exam later known as the SAT. We now serve more than 7 million students and parents, 23,000 high schools, and 3,900 colleges and universities in over 180 countries, as well as policymakers on the national and state levels. Our primary goals are to improve college and career readiness and increase access to opportunity for all students through rigorous instruction and assessment programs. Form 990 Part I Line 1.................. To further our mission, the organization also conducts research collects data advocates on behalf of students, teachers, school counselors, admission and financial aid officers, and institutions of higher education and seeks to improve education standards and practices. In addition, annual and regional forums and workshops are held to address the most pressing issues of interest to the associations members. Form 990 Part III Line 4a ASSESSMENT ACCESS The College Board is committed to producing high quality assessments that help students demonstrate their college readiness and that offer schools insightful, grade appropriate feedback about student achievement and growth. When used together, the tests can help educators identify and manage student progress, and help students graduate from high school prepared for success in college and beyond. Programs include SAT and SAT Subject Tests, PSAT/NMSQT, ReadiStep, CLEP and ACCUPLACER. Form 990 Part III Line 4a ASSESSMENT ACCESS One of the College Boards most critical education goals is to ensure that low income and underrepresented minority students have access to rigouous coursework in high school, recognize their potential for college, and graduate. Through Access to Opportunity and other initiatives, we seek to identify and break down barriers that prevent students from applying to and enrolling in colleges that align with their academic achievements. Form 990 Part III Line 4a ASSESSMENT ACCESS The College Board has no cap on fee waivers. As the population of needy students continues to grow, the College Board has been able to continue to issue unlimited fee waivers to students for whom the cost of the exam represented a barrier to entry. Fee waivers and discounts of 72 million were provided to students in the current tax year. Form 990 Part III Line 4b ADVANCED PLACEMENT INSTRUCTION The College Board believes that all students regardless of background, ethnicity or georgraphy should be exposed to a rigorous curriculum so that theyre prepared for the demands of higher education and the workplace. Our instruction initiatives help students develop key critical thinking and 21st century skills to ensure that theyll be successful in high school, college and beyond. Programs include Advanced Placement AP and Springboard. Form 990 Part III Line 4c RESEARCH ADVOCACY The College Boards research and advocacy efforts are related primarily to the areas of college preparation and access, college affordability and financial aid, college admission and completion, and the importance of teachers and school counselors. These efforts, and many others, are funded in part through resources generated by our programs and services. Form 990 Part III Line 4c MEMBERSHIP The Membership Office recruits and maintains members, supports governance activities and works to strengthen relationships between College Board staff and members to achieve our shared goals. Through programs, services and large-scale conferences, the College Board seeks to foster community, expand knowledge and enhance the profession among its more than 6,000 members from the United States and abroad. Form 990 Part III Line 4c OTHER In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, the College Board expended 108 million on free programs and services. The College Board has committed similar resource levels in the past, and its budget for the upcoming fiscal year reflects a continued commitment, at similar levels, to those types of activities. The College Board continues to provide numerous free services to educators, students and their families, including college and career planning tools, financial aid tools, professional development opportunities, research and tools for K-12 through higher education.
