Indiana AP Exam Fee Assistance

Funding for Indiana Schools for May 2026 AP Exams

The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) continues to support Indiana students through AP Exam funding in partnership with College Board. Assistance is available for Indiana students in grades 9 through 12 who are enrolled in an accredited public or non-public school.

IDOE guidance regarding funding is detailed in this memo. College Board will bill IDOE directly for a maximum of two AP Exams per student in the subjects listed in the memo. As funding allows, AP Exams in subjects not listed in the memo may be funded for fee-reduced students only, but no more than two exams per student will be covered. Schools are responsible to pay College Board for all other AP Exam fees and any additional fees incurred.

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, 2026 (11:59 p.m. ET). 

After the Exams:

• College Board will bill the IDOE directly for exams that qualify for state funding. Schools will be billed for all other 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.
• June 15, 2026, is the postmark deadline for payment due to College Board.
