US-based Fee Assistance program and access to Casper at $0

Updated over 2 months ago

The US-based Fee Assistance Program assists US applicants who, without financial assistance, would be unable to take certain tests such as Casper and the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and apply to programs that use the AACOMAS, and more. Applicants with FAP-approved status from the below-noted Fee Assistance Programs will receive access to Casper at $0, which includes all program distributions. Applicants who have demonstrated their eligibility from the below-noted Fee Assistance Programs should please contact us with proof of your Fee Assistance Program status via support@acuityinsights.app or through the bubble in the bottom right-hand corner of your account.

Note that if proof of your FAP approval is not provided prior to your test, Acuity Insights may issue an invoice for the outstanding balance on your account
