Arizona AP Exam Fee Assistance
Arizona’s state funding for the May 2026 AP Exams has not yet been finalized. The information below reflects the funding details for the May 2025 AP Exams and is provided for reference only. Funding for the May 2026 AP Exams may differ. Please check back for updates.
Funding for Arizona Schools for May 2025 AP Exams
College Board provides a fee reduction of $37 per AP Exam, including AP Seminar and AP Research Exams, for qualifying low-income students. In combination with contributions from the State of Arizona, the final fee for any exam taken by a fee-reduced public school student is $0. However, schools are expected to forgo their $9 rebate for these exams.
Note: It remains a school-level decision whether to keep or forgo the $9 per exam school rebate from standard-fee students. For more information on rebate policy and procedures, please see State AP Exam Fee Assistance.

| AP Exam | AP Seminar or AP Research Exam | $9 Rebate Collected from Students? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fee-Reduced Students | $0 | $0 | No |
| Standard-Fee Students | $99 | $147 | At school’s discretion |
Steps for AP Coordinators
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 Reduced Fee box 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.
- If possible, indicate each student’s status by the time you submit your exam order. This ensures you have time to plan for and collect the appropriate exam fees.
- However, if you need more time to verify this information, the deadline to indicate students' fee reduction status in AP Registration and Ordering is April 30, 2025 (11:59 p.m. ET).
After the Exams
- Your invoice will be automatically generated and emailed to you after late-testing administration ends. At that point, you can also access and print your invoice through AP Registration and Ordering.
- College Board will bill the Arizona Department of Education directly for its contributions toward fees for eligible public school students.
- June 15, 2025, is the postmark deadline for payment due to College Board.
