There are two costs associated with giving the National Spanish Examinations:

1. Cost per Teacher. There is a $75 cost to each teacher administering the National Spanish Examination. This cost covers administrative expenses associated with each teacher regardless of the number of exams he/she administers such as: mailings, results, etc….

   
   NOTE: AATSP members do not have to pay the $75 per teacher cost, as giving the National Spanish Examinations is a benefit of AATSP membership.

   
   Current AATSP members must renew their 2011 AATSP dues by January 31, 2011 in order to avoid paying the $75 test administration fee.

2. Cost per Student. Each school pays a fee per examination to the national office. This fee includes (1) a national portion of $3.00 and (2) an optional chapter portion (between $0.25 and $3.00 per student). Each chapter has a slightly different fee schedule because each chapter recognizes students in a different way (prizes, certificates, awards, banquets, etc.). Student recognition is funded through this chapter fee.

    

   The national fee of $3.00 per student covers:

   • One (1) Online National Spanish Examination
   • Unlimited year long use of the free, online practice exercises and practice examinations
   • Seven (7) sets of percentiles for each student
   • National recognition
   • Printable certificates for students who earn medal placement
   • Eligibility to compete for Global Citizen Scholarships, Junior Travel Awards and Senior Scholarships

    

   The chapter fee covers chapter prizes.
