Are AP results considered?

Paying for College

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if AP results are considered for financial aid at state schools, and private LAC’s? [Specifically: Uni. Texas @ Dallas, A&M, Texas Tech, Uni of North Texas; and Earlham College, Goucher College, Seattle University]</p>

<p>I found out that it costs $15 to send AP results to a college, which can add up when you also factor in application fees.</p>

<p>No AP results are not considered for need based aid. Only financial need is considered. The exception might be for the ACG (academic competitiveness grant) which is both need based and has an academic component (which varies by state). The ACG also requires Pell eligibility which means you must have a low EFC.</p>

<p>There may be merit based scholarships that consider AP exams but I have never heard of any. Having the AP exams would save you the cost of tuition for those particular courses (if the school accepts them and if you choose to use them).</p>

<p>No only the Academic Competitiveness Grant which is less than $1000 last time I checked. You have to have at least 2 AP tests and be qualified to receive a Pell Grant.</p>

<p>$750 freshman year, $1300 sophomore year. Only the 2 years.</p>

Not necessarily. It is based on your states definition of a “a rigorous secondary school program of study”. AP tests are not a requirement at all in many states.</p>
