One of the benefits of joining JCYC ETS is having access to fee waivers. Without a fee waiver, college applications typically cost around $70 per school. JCYC ETS offers multiple types of fee waivers so that students can apply to up to 4 UC schools AND most private schools for FREE!
UC Fee Waivers:
There are two ways to get a fee waiver to apply to 4 UC schools for FREE. The first (and easiest) is through the UC Fee Waiver, which is based on your family's income and household size. The second is to obtain an alternative fee waiver through JCYC ETS.
To find out if you qualify for a UC Fee Waiver, start your application at https://apply.universityofcalifornia.edu. Then, follow the steps in the screenshot below:
If you do not qualify for the UC Fee Waiver, please request an alternative fee waiver here.
CSU Fee Waivers:
Fee waivers at CSU schools are based on your family's income and household size. If you qualify, you can apply to up to 4 campuses for free! Unfortunately, if you do not qualify, CSU does not accept any other waivers.
To find out whether or not you qualify, you will need to complete the entire CSU application. (Photo coming soon). To start your application, visit www.calstate.edu/apply.
Private School Fee Waivers:
Students who are enrolled in JCYC ETS or can apply to most colleges on the Common App for free!
To receive a Common App Fee Waiver, go to www.commonapp.org and create an account. When you get to the page pictured below, answer yes to the question that asks about your financial circumstances. Then, select the box that says you are enrolled in a TRIO program that aids students from low-income families as well as any other boxes that apply to you.
For colleges that are not on the Common App, please request an alternative fee waiver here!
