2026 TEA AP Exam Subsidy

The TEA 2026 AP Exam Subsidy for students in Texas will be $27.00.  This is the same amount as 2025.  All students enrolled in a Texas public school may be considered for a Texas AP/IB exam fee subsidy. However, each student’s eligibility must be confirmed using the published criteria, which can be found on the Fee Reduction Eligibility Criteria webpage. 

The TEA AP/IB Incentive Program and College Board State AP Exam Fee Assistance websites will be updated soon, if not already.

APSI Participant Grants

College Board awards grants for qualifying teachers new to an AP subject to attend an AP Summer Institute (APSI). 

To qualify you must:

• be teaching an AP course for the first time in 2026-27
• not have attended an APSI or received College Board funding for the same course
• not have received professional learning funding from your school, district, or state

What Participant Grants Cover

• AP participant grants cover College Board–endorsed AP Summer Institutes in the United States.
• Participant grants cover the cost of tuition only. All other APSI costs (including but not limited to travel, lodging, food, or graduate credit) are the responsibility of the grant recipient.
