NC Receives Grant to Cover AB/IB Test Fees

Thanks to a grant and supplemental funds from the U.S. Department of Education, every eligible North Carolina high school student taking an Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) exam this year will have his or her test fees covered. As a part of the federal Advanced Placement Test Fee Program, the N.C. Department of Public Instruction will receive more than $800,000 to cover AP and IB test fees for all low-income students who qualify during the 2012-13 school year.
