Every freshman looks forward to being a senior. Homecoming, prom and graduation are events they dream about. No one, however, thinks about the number of checks that parents and students will write to create a senior year to remember (for the right reasons).
At the beginning of the year, each senior pays $60 to fund events like graduation and the items needed for it, like graduation caps and gowns. Another common expense is for the yearbook, which seems like a must-have to record the senior year.
Seniors pay for school supplies and back-to-school clothing, and if they drive to school and want to park in the senior lot, the fee is $50.
Seniors applying to college have another set of fees. Most colleges require that applicants take the SAT, which costs $43 or $54.50 with an essay. Seniors are also encouraged to take the ACT, which costs $39.50 or $56.56 with writing. Many seniors take the test more than once, which adds up. There are also fees for signing up late. AP tests are options that cost $92 per subject. While most teachers reason that this is much lower than the cost for a college course, the price is staggering for students who take more than one AP test.
In addition, seniors also pay to send scores to colleges. SAT and ACT score reports are $12. Transcripts to colleges are $5 per college.
Stoles and cords for honor societies and clubs can cost up to $30. This price is usually separate from club dues. It also costs money to attend sports events and participate in other activities.
Even if students avoid SAT tests and club dues, it’s almost a requirement for seniors to do certain things like attend prom and take senior portraits.
