3. Is there financial aid available?
In extreme emergency, we have covered the fees on a "loan" basis, allowing families to pay over a 3-4 month period. When families qualify for free and reduced lunch program, we have been able to locate scholarship monies from the state. Each year we have to wait to see if the state will receive the money -- if they do, then qualifying students pay a base fee of $25.00 and $15.00 for each exam.

4. If I change my mind about testing, will I get a refund?
No. Once fees have been sent to IBO they are non-refundable and non-transferable.

5. When are exams given?
Junior and senior years in May.

6. When is registration?
Deadline for fees paid is the 3rd Friday in October. The deadline Late registrations can be submitted, but they are costly.

7. If I don't earn the diploma, but score high enough on one or more higher level exams, what happens?
You get a certificate, and chance for possible credit still exists.

8. When am I notified about results--and how?
You will receive a personal code and pin number in May which will allow you to view your results online in early July.

9. How are colleges and universities notified?
You fill out a form in May of Senior year, and IB sends results. If you don't like the results, you can have them removed from your college record.

"Looking back on my experience with Eugene IHS I now realize how important it was in shaping my comprehensive understanding of the world around me. I credit the [school] with teaching me to love learning and my subsequent success in college and graduate school. I felt that I started college ahead of my freshman peers in terms of my writing abilities and time management skills. Plus, it made me really good at Jeopardy.
--Alison (Stark) Leiman, Class of 2000

"Nothing prepares you better for success
than Eugene IHS!"
