What is Advanced Opportunities Funding?

Every student who attends an Idaho public school is allotted $4,125.00 to use in grades 7-12 through the Fast Forward or Advance Opportunities Program. These funds can be used to pay for dual credit, overload courses, and college-credit bearing/professional technical exams. 

Dual credit: Access to $75 per college credit. This amount of money will not cover the cost of an AA.

Overload courses: Access to $225 per high school course taken in addition to a full high school schedule (any classes over 8 available during the school day). This will not cover any classes that were previously failed.

Examinations: Pay for college credit bearing and professional technical examinations. These include Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, College Level Examination Program, and Professional Technical Certification Exams.
