This may include partial costs of the application fees that were not subsidized. The department will mail the reimbursement form to NBCTs upon notification from NBPTS of certified Wisconsin teachers. The claim for reimbursement of expenses related to NBPTS certification must be submitted prior to June 30th of the school year in which the NBCT received certification or, if certified in another state, upon meeting all eligibility requirements.
