Avid Academic Partner Program
Why become an AAP?
The AAP program is designed to help institutions deliver state-of-the-art media education. It offers a range of resources that help educators deliver professionally tailored instruction, and that help students develop in-depth skills in their chosen area of study. AAPs enjoy a higher profile across a wide spectrum of media markets, as well as with academic and professional associations. Being an AAP simplifies the planning and implementation of an integrated, interdisciplinary curriculum that reflects today's media industry.
The AAP Program is temporarily oversubscribed, so we are not taking any further applications to the program at the present time.
We are also taking this opportunity to review the scheme and would welcome any suggestions you may have about it.
