We are pleased to announce the continuation of the GRE® Fee Reduction Program for LSAMP Programs in the 2022-23 testing year, beginning July 1, 2022. Details of the program are listed below.
2022-23 Program Details:
- You may request up to five Fee Reduction Vouchers for your LSAMP students who plan to take the GRE General Test (including the at home test) and up to five vouchers for those who plan to take a GRE Subject Test.

Redeeming a Test Preparation Voucher
To redeem a test preparation voucher, test takers need to do the following:
- Log in to their ETS account.
- Select “Shop for Test Preparation”.
- Add POWERPREP PLUS Online Practice Test 1 and 2, and the ScoreItNow! service to their cart.
- Select “Proceed to Checkout”.
- Enter the voucher number in the “Voucher/Promotional Code” box at the top of the checkout page (fee will be $0.0 once the voucher number is recognized).
- Select “Pay Now”.
- Once the order has been processed, the test taker will receive a confirmation email that the POWERPREP Plus Online Practice Tests 1 and/or 2 have been added to the “My Test Prep & Services” section of their ETS account. In addition, a new voucher code to access the ScoreItNow! service will be sent to the test taker. The test taker will be able to use this new voucher code to access the ScoreItNow! service.
- Note that all three test preparation services do not need to be ordered at the same time when using the test preparation voucher. The test taker can redeem practice test 1 on a particular day and return to their ETS account at a later date to redeem one or both remaining services.
GRE Fee Reduction Vouchers will be distributed beginning in June 2022. If you have questions, please contact GRE Institutional Services via email at GRE_Fee_Reduction@ets.org or by phone at 609-771-7092. Questions from test takers should be directed to GRE Services via email at gre-info@ets.org or by phone at 609-771-7670.
The GRE Fee Reduction Program is funded by income from GRE test fees. The GRE Program incurs a cost for every test appointment scheduled or test registration received. It is important that you encourage your students not to schedule an appointment or register for a test unless they are sure they will be able to attend the test session. The long-range viability of the Fee Reduction Program depends upon effective stewardship of this program. We appreciate your help.
