AICP Exam Fee Scholarship

AICP offers one Reduced Exam Registration Fee Scholarship each year to a Wisconsin planner taking the AICP exam. This program was put into place to offer assistance to approved applicants who may defer taking or are unable to take the AICP exam because of the high cost.

Scholarship recipients pay reduced fees to AICP as follows:

	First time AICP applicants: $120 (combined $60 application and $60 exam fee)
	Previously approved AICP applicants: $60 (exam fee only)

Please note that if scholarship recipients pay the regular instead of the reduced fees before receiving notice of selection, AICP will promptly refund the fee difference to the candidate.

As PDO, Nancy Frank selects scholarship recipients based upon the selection criteria listed below.  Wisconsin has only one scholarship available annually.   The nomination/selection of scholarship recipients will be kept strictly confidential.   It is ultimately up to each chapter PDO to decide what constitutes financial hardship.

 
Selection Criteria

Members of ethnic or racial minorities shall be given preference.

The applicant(s) selected will be otherwise unlikely to take the exam without the reduced fee.  Please provide sufficient information that the PDO can assess your financial need relative to other applicants.  Specific documentation will not be required.

The applicant’s employer will not subsidize the exam fee.  Please provide a letter from your employer stating that it is the policy of the department to not subsidize the cost of taking the AICP exam.
