Not interested in highly selective or private universities as they cost too much and are out of budget for our middle class family.

Does enrolling in high school AP courses save money on college tuition and do middle class families qualify?

Is this applicable for in-state Virginia colleges?

"One of the most significant advantages of AP courses is the potential for substantial cost savings. If you earn college credits through AP® exams, you reduce the number of college courses you need to take, which will lower your tuition expense. These savings can quickly add up to thousands of dollars. Avoiding an entire semester—or year—of college tuition and fees might mean that you don’t need to borrow as much in student loans. To put this into perspective, let's consider an average public 4-year university that charges in-state residents $305 per credit hour. If a student takes an AP exam, which will cost $98 (if not, within the first six covered by public school) and successfully earns the equivalent of a three-credit-hour class, they could effectively save over $800 compared to the equivalent course at the university."
