NCAA FEE WAIVER
If you are unable to pay the registration fee for the NCAA Eligibility Center due to financial considerations, there is an option in the Payment section of your Eligibility Center account to indicate you are eligible to receive a fee waiver. You are eligible for an Eligibility Center registration fee waiver if you meet any of the following criteria:
You are enrolled in or eligible to participate in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch program (FRPL).
You have received or are eligible to receive an SAT or ACT fee waiver.
Your annual family income falls within the income eligibility guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.
Your family receives public assistance (e.g., SSI, SNAP).
You are enrolled in a government program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., GEAR UP, TRIO, Upward Bound).
You live in government-subsidized public housing, a foster home or are homeless.
You are a ward of the state or an orphan.
You have applied to FAFSA and have received or are eligible for a Pell Grant.
A school or government official can attest to your economic need.
If you meet any of the above criteria and have attended a U.S. high school, please ask your high school counselor to confirm your fee waiver eligibility through the NCAA Eligibility Center's High School Portal after you have completed your Certification account registration.
If you meet the above criteria and have not attended a U.S. high school (e.g., international students, home-schooled students), a task will be assigned to your Eligibility Center account with additional instructions for completing the fee waiver requirement.
Effective 9/1/2022, all fees are nonrefundable 30 days after you successfully register either Certification account. If you completed a duplicate registration and paid your registration fee twice, you may be eligible for a refund of the duplicate registration fees. To receive a refund, you need to download, complete and submit a refund form for consideration.
