* Before registering, please read the section below on COST.
Cost
There are two mandatory costs associated with giving the National Spanish Challenge: (1) cost per teacher and (2) cost per student.
Cost per Teacher: There is a $75 cost to each teacher administering the National Spanish Challenge. This cost covers administrative expenses associated with each teacher regardless of the number of challenges he/she administers. Teachers may only register students who are currently enrolled in their classes, and must enroll each student for the challenge division that best matches the student’s learning experience.
NOTE: AATSP members do not have to pay the $75 per-teacher cost, as giving the National Spanish Challenge is a benefit of AATSP membership. AATSP members must have paid their 2022 membership dues in order to avoid paying the $75 test administration fee.
Teachers who are not currently AATSP members and would like to join the AATSP, visit www.aatsp.org. (Click here for Benefits of Joining the AATSP!)
Cost per Student: Each school will pay a $5.00 fee per challenger. This fee covers one online National Spanish Challenge, printed certificates for students who earn recognition, and prizes for individual performance.
Late Registration: The Late Registration Window will be open from February 14 - February 24, 2022. There is only a $1 late fee per examination!
