- 2017-18 Advanced Placement (AP) Test Fee Reduction Grant
For many years, the Michigan Department of Education received a federal AP Test Fee Reduction Grant that paid for Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) tests and registration fees for low-income students. The federal AP Test Fee Reduction Grant is no longer available, however the Michigan legislature appropriated $750,000 to cover related fees; enough to fully replace the lost federal funding. Qualifying students will pay $5.00 per exam with the Test Fee Reduction Grant covering the balance. Please see this memo, from June 2018, for further information.
