Fee Waiver Information

If you are eligible based on income verification, receive AFDC (currently qualified for financial assistance or food stamps) or (SSI) Supplemental Security Income (only for blind or disabled children), or if you are in the custody of a Utah State or local governmental agency or foster care, you probably qualify for fee waivers (meaning that you will not be required to pay the fees). You may also be eligible for fee waivers if your family is having serious financial difficulties. You may be required to perform community service in return for the waiver of fees other than textbook fees. Your principal or counselor can give your more information about community service options.

If fee waivers are sought for activities where students are required to participate in fund-raisers, all students will be expected to participate in group fund-raisers to the same extent for fees to be waived. If you are required to apply for fee waivers by your school district, you will be asked, consistent with local board policies and/or guidelines and school district timelines, to provide documentation of your fee waiver eligibility.

If you qualify, ALL fees must be waived, including fees for registration, books, classes, sports, clubs, drill teams, trips, uniforms, activity cards, lockers, extracurricular activities, team summer camps, etc. If fines or other charges for damaged or lost school property have not been resolved, official copies of report cards and transcripts may be withheld.
