Kaplan's
Fee Assistance Program
We don’t want financial need to stand in the way of accomplishing your goals.
Every year, we help hundreds of students who would otherwise not have access to test prep courses through our Fee Assistance Program.
We Are Here to Help
Nationwide there are many high-achieving students with economic disadvantages who are not able to gain access to Kaplan courses. The Fee Assistance Program has been around for many years and has helped thousands of students gain the same advantage as others—where they can prove their abilities and advance their career ambitions through Kaplan’s exam prep courses.
If you’re a U.S. citizen, or are an international student enrolled in a U.S. college or university, you could be eligible for up to a 60%* discount on your Kaplan course.
Kaplan’s Fee Assistance Program is available for students seeking enrollment in On Demand, Live Online, and In Person courses for the GRE®, LSAT®, MCAT®, DAT and OAT exams.
Eligibility will be verified by either your expected family contribution (EFC) from your current year Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or through a third party.
