Reduced 2008
AICP Exam
Fee Scholarships |
AICP strongly encourages those with financial hardships to become
AICP members by taking advantage of the Reduced Exam Fee Scholarship
program. This program offers assistance to those individuals who may
defer taking or are unable to take the AICP exam because of the high
cost. There are three scholarships available for Texas planners in
2008.
Scholarship recipients pay reduced fees to AICP as follows:
First time AICP applicants: $125 (combined $60 application and $65
exam fee)
Previously approved AICP applicants: $65 (exam fee only)
The deadline is January 11, 2008 for the May 2008 testing window.
Applicants will be notified on January 22, 2008 of the scholarship
selection.
Reduced AICP Exam Fee Scholarship Selection Criteria
Applicants shall submit a written explanation of financial hardship
(including financial hardship caused by a budget cutback in a firm
or agency), which necessitates the request. This should be in the
form of a letter, no more than 2 pages. The letter needs to include
the applicant’s APA identification number. Preference is given to:
· Members of ethnic or racial minorities;
· Applicants who otherwise will be unlikely to take the exam without
the reduced fee.
· Applicants whose employer will not subsidize the exam fee.
Applications should be submitted by January 11, 2008 via e-mail or
regular mail to:
