Dual Credit Progam
The Fast Forward program provides every student attending an Idaho public school an allocation of $4,625.00 to use towards Advanced Opportunities in grades 7-12. The program was expanded by the Legislature in 2016 through the passing of House Bill 458.
The funds can be used for concurrent credit, AP exams, some CTE test fees, and overload courses.
