AP Test Financial Aid Application

AHS has a limited number of 'scholarships' available to assist students with registration fees for AP exams. 
Deadline to apply: Friday, February 12


Students must explain why they should be considered; taking multiple exams, or being a Senior with other final semester expenses, may not be enough. 

 We are typically only able to grant funds to less than half of the students who apply, so students should provide as much information as possible about their need.

Applications must be turned into Mrs. Stafford, the Gold House 1 secretary.

*Note: The 'Eligibility Requirements' for College Board fee reduction that is mentioned in the 2nd paragraph of the form is Free or Reduced Lunch.  We will release that code as soon as we can.  Please check with Ms. Willows on March 1 for that code.
