At my old school, FRL students got their exams for free. I believe CollegeBoard knocked off $30 and then my county picked up the rest. That’s not really saying much, though, since my school was 40% FRL but I was the only FRL to take an AP exam in two years. The school board had a meeting about this last year. They paid for AP exams for FRL students, but only 10-12 FRL students were taking AP exams across the county (10,000 high school students, 38% FRL overall).
