Test Fee Reduction Program Receives Funding

Did you know? Advanced placement exams that give kids a head start on college credits aren’t cheap. The hefty price might actually deter some students from signing up for these high-level classes.

 

The US Department of Education is trying to alleviate some of the burden. They just announced today that funds are now available for low-income students who are eligible for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) and Cambridge program exams.

 

Qualified low-income students will now pay $18 per exam. This is an $8 increase from last year’s reduced rate of $10 per exam.

 

There is no limit to the number of exams a student may take.

 

Get involved! Learn about these exams and the five ways students can qualify to take advantage of these funds.
