Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement Exams are rigorous, multiple-component tests that are administered at high schools each May. High school students can earn college credit, placement, or both for qualifying AP® Exam scores.
The majority of U.S. high schools currently participate in the AP Program, and most four-year U.S. colleges and universities grant credit and/or advanced placement for qualifying AP Exam scores. The College Board administers the AP program.

Exam Fee Reimbursement
A federally funded program reimburses Advanced Placement (AP) and/or International Baccaleureate (IB) exam fees for low-income students attending Missouri public and private schools and who meet certain criteria. Low-income students are defined as students that qualify for the free-or-reduced-price lunch program. If sufficient federal funds are not available to meet demand, exam fees will be paid on a prorated basis.
AP/IB Fee Reimbursement Update
The United States Department of Education has announced that it is providing the AP Test Fee program with additional funds for fiscal year 2012 to cover the costs of exams for eligible low income students. The funds will allow for all low income students' exams to be paid for that will be administered during the Spring of 2012.
