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.
