SAT fee waiver eligibility?

How can I figure out if I'm eligible for an SAT fee waiver? Does anyone know what the requirements are to get one?

9 months ago

You can determine your eligibility for an SAT fee waiver through a few different criteria, primarily based on your family's financial situation. Here are the main requirements for obtaining an SAT fee waiver:

1. You're enrolled in or eligible for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

2. Your family's annual income meets the USDA guidelines for the free and reduced-price lunch program.

3. You're enrolled in a program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., TRIO programs like Upward Bound).

4. You receive public assistance (e.g., TANF, SNAP, or WIC).

5. Your family receives free or low-cost health insurance through Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

6. Your family's income falls within the eligibility guidelines for the SAT Fee Waiver Program provided by the College Board (which can be found in their Fee Waiver brochure).

If you meet any of these criteria, you may qualify for a fee waiver. To proceed with obtaining one, talk to your high school counselor or another appropriate school official who can verify your eligibility. They will provide you with a fee waiver code, which you can use when registering for the SAT exam.

If you're unsure about your eligibility, don't hesitate to reach out to your school counselor for further guidance. They'll be able to help you determine your eligibility and navigate the process of securing a fee waiver. Good luck!
