Win College Application Fee Waivers



The college application fee is a major important part of college admission. No college accepts applications without application fees but there are ways to waive the fee through several inter-college programs. If you are not from a financially sound family, you need not worry about admission to a reputable college due to your inability to pay the application fee. The primary part of applying for the fee waiver is to submit a signed statement by your guidance counselor that you or your family is not financially stable enough to pay college application fees. This has to be done with each application you use to apply to different schools. Colleges have their own fee waiver forms or they use the forms issued by the National Association for College Admission Counseling or the College Board.

Important Facts about College Application Fee Waivers

Some of the most important factors that you should remember when applying for college application fee waivers are:

  • You need an independent counselor or secondary counselor to verify that you are not able to pay the college application fee and are eligible to use the fee waiver
  • The form has to be sent directly to the admission office of your desired college
  • If you have applied online you still need to send in the college application fee waiver form to the college admission office
  • When filling out the fee waiver form you must go through the guidelines formulated by the Federal Government
  • If you are a home-schooled student you can also avail the fee waiver form and your parents will act as your college counselors whose income can be verified through W2 forms
  • You cannot avail this fee waiver form when transferring from a community college, it is only for transition to postsecondary education

NACAC and College Board Fee Waiver Form

The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) issues the Request for Application Fee Waiver for students who are too financially weak to pay college application fees. Students who take part in the SAT program’s fee waiver are also eligible to benefit from the college application fee waiver for applications to four different colleges.

Eligibility to Avail a College Application Fee Waiver

The SAT and the ACT program fee waiver service is available for students who are US citizens or foreign nationals testing in the USA. Whether you are eligible for the college application fee waiver or not is determined by your family’s income or participation in any public assistance program solely meant for financially disadvantaged families. If you are really in a financial crisis, you may be asked to detail the type of your crisis and your hardship by the college admission authority. Some colleges have their own policies involving the application fee waive program and prefer students follow their income guidelines.
