AAMC Fee Assistance Program: Do You Know When Program Benefits Expire?

The benefits for the AAMC Fee Assistance Program begin on the date of approval and expire the next calendar year on Dec. 31, regardless of when an applicant applies and receives the benefits during the application year. Additional benefits specific to MCAT and AMCAS include:
MCAT: After an applicant selects to receive MCAT Official Prep products benefit, the products expire on Dec. 31 of the following year. The expiration date will be visible in the MCAT Official Prep Hub. The MCAT Official Prep products’ expiration date does not affect future Fee Assistance approvals.
AMCAS: The AMCAS benefit can only be used for one application cycle. Unused medical school designations do not carry over to the next AMCAS application cycle, even if the next application cycle falls before Dec. 31 of the following year.
