Federal and State AP Exam Fee Assistance
Payment is due to College Board by June 15, 2023 (postmark deadline)—not at the time of ordering. Schools determine how and when to collect and track exam payment.
This page will be updated as states finalize their 2023 AP Exam fee assistance policies. See below.
2023 AP Fee Assistance Policies by State
The base AP Exam fees are as follows:
- $97 per exam at schools in the U.S., U.S. territories, Canada, and all DoDEA schools.
- $127 per exam at schools outside the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada, with the exception of DoDEA schools. (Fees may vary for exams at College Board-authorized test centers outside the U.S.)
- $145 per exam for AP Capstone™ (AP Seminar or AP Research)
The exam fee includes a $9 rebate per exam that schools can retain to offset exam administration costs.
College Board provides a $35 fee reduction per AP Exam for eligible students with financial need. For eligibility criteria, visit AP Exam Fee Reductions. Schools are expected to forgo their $9 rebate for these students, resulting in a cost of:
- $53 per exam at schools in the U.S., U.S. territories, Canada, and all DoDEA schools
- $83 per exam at schools outside the U.S., U.S. territories, and Canada, with the exception of DoDEA schools (Fees may vary for exams at College Board-authorized test centers outside the U.S.)
- $101 per exam for AP Capstone (AP Seminar or AP Research)
Many states use federal and state funding to further reduce the exam fee for students. College Board and states are working together to provide information about 2023 subsidies in advance of the November 15 final ordering deadline wherever possible, but in some cases, states won't be able to finalize their subsidies until later in the school year.
For more information on the federal funding options available for states and districts, visit Funding for Low-Income AP Students.
If Your State Requires Students to Be Enrolled in a Course
Some states require students taking an AP Exam to be enrolled in the corresponding course in order for those students to receive state funding for their exam. Students solely enrolled in an exam only section for a given AP subject won’t receive state funding in this case. For example, students taking AP courses at a virtual school must be enrolled in both the exam only section at the school where they’ll be taking the exam and in a class section for the corresponding course through their virtual school.
If Your State Eliminates Its Subsidy
If your state provided a subsidy for low-income students’ AP Exams in 2022, and the subsidy is eliminated after you’ve submitted your 2023 AP Exam order:
- For students who choose to still take their exams: The amount that will be calculated on your invoice for these exams will reflect your state’s available funding as of the time the invoice is generated.
- For students who choose not to take their exams: No exam payment will be owed. Students’ fee reduction status must be accurately indicated in AP Registration and Ordering in order for fees to be waived.

Homeschooled students and students taking AP courses at a virtual provider such as Virtual Arkansas must be enrolled in AP Registration and Ordering in both the exam only section at the school where they'll be taking the exam and a class section for the corresponding course through their virtual provider.

A-G Completion Improvement Grant Program
The A-G Completion Improvement Grant Program was included in the 2022 state budget, and provides funding to public schools to expand access to qualifying A-G courses for college admissions. All AP and Pre-AP courses are approved A-G courses, so this funding may be used for:

North Carolina
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI) will fund AP Exams for two categories of public school students enrolled in an AP course who then take the corresponding AP Exam: fee-reduced students and standard-fee students. Please note that NC DPI will not pay for AP Exams taken by private school students, homeschooled students, or students who were not enrolled in the AP course.
Fee-reduced students are students who qualify for the College Board fee reduction of $35 per exam. For public school, fee-reduced students enrolled in the corresponding AP course, NC DPI will pay:
-
$53 per AP Exam (except AP Seminar and AP Research Exams)
-
$101 per AP Seminar Exam and AP Research Exam
The final fee for any AP Exam (including AP Seminar and AP Research Exams) for qualifying fee-reduced students is $0.
Standard-fee students are students who do not qualify for the College Board fee reduction. For public school, standard-fee students enrolled in the corresponding AP course, NC DPI will pay:
-
$97 per AP Exam (except AP Seminar and AP Research Exams)
-
$145 per AP Seminar Exam and AP Research Exam
The final fee for any AP Exam (including AP Seminar and AP Research Exams) for qualifying standard-fee students is $0.
North Carolina Rebate
The fee for each AP Exam is $97, or $145 per AP Seminar Exam and AP Research Exam, with the school normally retaining $9 of that fee as a rebate to help with administrative costs associated with the AP Exam administration.
Given that NC DPI pays for all AP Exam fees, public schools in North Carolina no longer collect this $9 fee from students. Therefore, NC DPI has agreed to provide the $9 rebate per exam to schools for standard-fee students. In September 2023, your school will receive a rebate check from College Board equal to the number of your standard-fee used exams multiplied by $9 per exam. For example, if you have 100 standard-fee used exams, your school will receive a rebate check in September 2023 for $900. Please note that the North Carolina rebate is separate from the Rebates for Schools with Large AP Programs.
What Schools Must Do
Your school's AP coordinator must take the following steps.
Before the exams:
-
For your invoice to accurately reflect any fee reductions, the AP coordinator must indicate the fee reduction status for each eligible student in AP Registration and Ordering.
-
For each student who is eligible for the College Board fee reduction, check the box for Reduced Fee next to their name in the student roster.
-
For students who aren't eligible for the fee reduction, no action is needed.
-
-
Fee reduction status is indicated only once per student, not for each exam.
-
Once a student's fee reduction status is marked as reduced fee or left as standard in AP Registration and Ordering, the North Carolina state subsidies will automatically be calculated and applied for all exams taken by public school students who are enrolled in the corresponding AP course.
-
A best practice is to indicate fee reduction status for each student by the time you submit your exam order. However, if you need more time to verify this information, you can update students' fee reduction status through AP Registration and Ordering after submitting your exam order, but no later than April 30, 2023 (11:59 p.m. ET).
Ensure Eligible Students are Enrolled in Class Sections in AP Registration and Ordering
-
North Carolina public school students are only eligible to receive the state subsidies for their AP Exams if they were enrolled in a class section in AP Registration and Ordering.
-
Virtual schools must ensure that their AP teachers enroll all their students in AP Registration and Ordering. Students taking AP courses at a virtual school such as NCVirtual must be enrolled in both the exam only section at the school where they'll be taking the exam and a class section for the corresponding course through their virtual school.
-
Any students who are not enrolled in a class section for the corresponding course by the virtual school will not receive the North Carolina state subsidies for their exams. This means that the physical school where any unenrolled virtual school students take their exams will be charged rather than the state.
-
For more information on enrolling students taking AP in virtual schools, visit Homeschooled, Independent Study, and Virtual School Students and Students from Other Schools, or see the AP Coordinator's Manual, Part 1.
-
Self-study students, homeschooled students, IB students, and any private school students testing at a public school should be solely enrolled in an exam only section for a given AP subject so that the state subsidies are not applied.
After the exams:
-
Your invoice is automatically generated in AP Registration and Ordering and emailed to you after the late-testing administration ends. At that point, you can also access and print your invoice through AP Registration and Ordering.
-
College Board will bill NC DPI directly for its share of the qualifying students' AP Exam fees.
-
Send payment to College Board for any ancillary fees incurred, as well as for exams for any students who are not eligible for the state subsidies.
-
June 15, 2023, is the postmark deadline for any payment owed to College Board.
-
It is not necessary to send a copy of your school's invoice to NC DPI.

North Dakota
College Board’s standard fee for each 2023 AP Exam is $97 per exam ($145 per AP Seminar Exam and AP Research Exam). The exam fee includes a $9 rebate per exam that schools can retain to offset exam administration costs. Schools are expected to forgo their $9 rebate for economically disadvantaged students. It remains a school-level decision whether to keep or forgo the $9 per exam school rebate from standard-fee students.
The North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (NDDPI) will use state funds to support the costs of 2023 AP Exams in English, math, science, and computer science for two categories of students: fee-reduced students and standard-fee students.

-
NDDPI will cover the full exam fee for all students taking AP Seminar and AP Research Exams ($101 per exam for economically disadvantaged students; $136 per exam for other students).

What Schools Must Do
Your school's AP coordinator must take the following steps.
Before the exams:
-
For your invoice to accurately reflect any fee reductions, the AP coordinator must indicate the fee reduction status for each eligible student in AP Registration and Ordering.
-
For each student who is eligible for the College Board fee reduction, check the box for Reduced Fee next to their name in the student roster.
-
For students who aren't eligible for the fee reduction, no action is needed.
-
-
Fee reduction status is indicated only once per student, not for each exam.
-
A best practice is to indicate fee reduction status for each student by the time you submit your exam order. However, if you need more time to verify this information, you can update students' fee reduction status through AP Registration and Ordering after submitting your exam order, but no later than April 30, 2023 (11:59 p.m. ET).
After the exams:
-
Your invoice is automatically generated in AP Registration and Ordering and emailed to you after the late-testing administration ends. At that point, you can also access and print your invoice through AP Registration and Ordering.
-
AP coordinators need to submit the Advanced Placement Student Fee Submission form to NDDPI to determine how much the state will pay to College Board versus how much your school will need to pay.
-
For more detailed instructions on the funding process for AP coordinators in North Dakota, review NDDPI’s Advanced Placement Exam Fee Guidance.

Utah
To support students experiencing socioeconomic disadvantage, Utah has required local communities pay for those students’ AP Exam fees in 2023 and beyond. This change is based on an amendment to a statute regarding Early College programs. To qualify for these funds, LEAs must have completed all three steps of the Early College application process (see our Early College FAQ). Schools need to work in collaboration with their LEAs to make sure there is a district/charter-wide mechanism in place that tracks the expenditures for qualifying students. In subsequent years, districts/charters will receive funding based on this evidence.
College Board provides a fee reduction of $35 per AP Exam, including AP Seminar and AP Research Exams, for qualifying low-income students. Schools are also expected to forgo their $9 rebate for these students. For eligibility criteria, visit AP Exam Fee Reductions.
Schools in Utah must pay College Board the following amounts per exam for fee-reduced students:
-
$53 per AP Exam fee per fee-reduced student (except AP Seminar and AP Research Exams)
-
$101 per AP Seminar and AP Research Exam per fee-reduced student
However, through the Early College funding, USBE will reimburse qualifying LEAs for $53 per AP Exam (or $101 per AP Seminar Exam and AP Research Exam) for fee-reduced students.
What Schools Must Do
Schools need to work with their districts/charters to make sure there is a district-/charter-wide mechanism in place that tracks the expenditures for qualifying students. Your school's AP coordinator (or person responsible for entering the student information) must take the following steps.
Before the exams:
-
For your invoice to accurately reflect any fee reductions, the AP coordinator must indicate the fee reduction status for each eligible student in AP Registration and Ordering.
-
For each student who is eligible for the College Board fee reduction, check the box for Reduced Fee next to their name in the student roster.
-
For students who aren't eligible for the fee reduction, no action is needed.
-
-
Fee reduction status needs only to be indicated once per student, not for each exam.
-
A best practice is to indicate fee reduction status for each student by the time you submit your exam order. However, if you need more time to verify this information, you can update students' fee reduction status through AP Registration and Ordering after submitting your exam order, but no later than April 30, 2023 (11:59 p.m. ET).
After the exams:
-
Your invoice is automatically generated in AP Registration and Ordering and emailed to you after the late-testing administration ends. At that point, you can also access and print your invoice through AP Registration and Ordering.
-
Each school will receive an invoice directly from College Board billing them $53 per AP Exam (or $101 per AP Seminar Exam and AP Research Exam) for fee-reduced students. Please reach out to your district Early College/AP Coordinators to determine how they want this information shared with them.
-
June 15, 2023, is the postmark deadline for payment due to College Board.
-
Early College/AP Coordinators will submit this information each fall to USBE in their annual district/charter reported data to qualify for reimbursements for fee-reduced AP Exam costs.
-
For the school year 2022-23, districts/charters applying for AP funding will receive the fee-reduced AP Exam costs together with their Early College funding.
-
In subsequent years, districts/charters will receive this funding based on the evidence in their reported data that is submitted to USBE by Early College/AP Coordinators.
-
For more information, be sure to reach out to your district Early College/AP Coordinator.
