A student has to qualify for the free or reduced-price lunch program only one year during high school to be eligible for these bonus awards. Each AP exam score of 3, 4 or 5 achieved by an eligible student will earn the student a KEES bonus of $200, $250 or $300 respectively. The same amounts are available for each IB exam score of 5, 6 or 7 earned by an eligible student. There is no limit to the number of AP or IB bonus awards a student can earn. In addition, AP and IB classes carry extra weight when KHEAA figures grade point averages for yearly KEES base awards. An A in an AP or IB class is worth 5 points, not 4, for KEES purposes. KHEAA is the state agency that administers KEES, need-based grants and other programs to help students pay their higher education expenses.
