The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released correspondence pertaining to the spring 2026 administration of the AP-IB exam state subsidy. The subsidy will be $27 for each AP and IB exam taken by a subsidy-eligible student.
The criteria to qualify for a Texas exam fee subsidy are the same for both AP and IB students, and the subsidy applies to every AP and IB exam taken by an eligible student. All students enrolled in a Texas public school may be considered for a Texas AP-IB exam fee subsidy. Each student’s eligibility must be confirmed using the published criteria available on the Fee Reduction Eligibility Criteria webpage.
More information can be found on TEA’s 2025-26 Texas AP/IB Fee Subsidy webpage. The full correspondence can be found here.
