We want to encourage all parents of rising 11th and 12th graders to review the GUIDELINES for the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application because if you qualify, you will also have access to free and reduced-price fees for college applications and AP/SAT/ACT/CLT fees!
If you registered for and took the SAT using a fee waiver, or were identified as fee waiver eligible as part of a district or state program, you are automatically eligible to receive college application fee waivers.
Students who test with an ACT fee waiver may also request a Waiver or Deferral of College Admission Applications Fee. To have a college application fee waived, you must submit your fee waiver directly to the college to which you are applying (not to ACT).
If you meet certain qualifications, you can request a Common App fee waiver. You can use the Common App Fee Waiver section of your Profile to request a fee waiver. If you select that you are eligible for the Common App fee waiver, you will not be charged any application fees when you submit through Common App.
