No, for a couple of reasons…

The award is “per year”…not a total divided by number of years in college.

Just because your DD has 30+ AP credits does not necessarily mean that she’ll graduate in 3 years.

Many kids come in with 40+ credits. My kids came in with 45 AP credits each, but still went for 4 years. Many of their AP credits were “extras”…they took AP Euro and AP US history…that’s 12 credits right there…but only 6 were actually usable towards their degrees.

Depending on what the AP credits are in, they may not perfectly cover the req’ts for her degree…or she may change her major.

What AP credits will she come in with?
