Advanced Placement (AP) Fee Reduction Program
Making advanced courses accessible to every student
seeking more rigorous courses
The Advanced Placement courses provide rigorous course work to prepare students for higher education or to simply challenge their knowledge. These classes can be used for college credit or advanced placement in a program. This program allows students with financial need to take the exams at a reduced cost.
How it Works
A school counselor or other school personnel decide if the student is within the financial guidelines. For 2012, the cost for each exam is $87. The College Board provides a $26 fee reduction per exam. The school forgoes its $8 rebate. The Alaska Department of Education & Early Development will pay $53 per exam.
For more information on the Advanced Placement Fee Reduction Program, the Advanced Placement Incentive Grant Program, or other AP questions, contact your state AP Administrator, Shari Paul.
