About the College Board
The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity.
Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is
made up of more than 6,000 of the worlds leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity
in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college
through programs and services in college readiness and college success including the SAT and the Advanced
Placement Program. The organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy on behalf of
students, educators, and schools.
