Hi everyone! I'm in need of an ACT score waiver code, but I'm not sure how to go about obtaining one. Does anyone have any guidance on how to get a waiver code, or know who I should contact? Thanks in advance!
Hi! You're on the right track by looking into obtaining an ACT fee waiver code. To be eligible for a fee waiver, you should meet certain income-based criteria or be enrolled in programs like Upward Bound or free/reduced-price lunch programs. Here's how you can go about getting an ACT waiver code:
1. Speak with your high school counselor: Your high school counselor will usually have information on the fee waiver process and can provide you with a waiver code if you're eligible. They will also have the necessary forms for you to fill out.
2. Complete the necessary paperwork: Once you receive the fee waiver form, complete it with accurate information about your financial situation and have your high school counselor verify its accuracy. The form will ask for details such as your family income and the number of people in your household.
3. Submit the form to ACT: After your high school counselor has reviewed and approved your form, they will submit it to the ACT on your behalf. Once it's approved, your counselor will receive a waiver code for you to use when registering for the ACT.
4. Register for the ACT using the waiver code: When you register for the ACT through their website, you'll be asked to provide a waiver code during the payment process. Enter the code provided by your counselor to have the test fee waived.
Remember, obtaining a fee waiver also qualifies you for additional benefits, such as waived college application fees for certain schools and free test prep resources. Make sure to communicate with your high school counselor throughout the process to take advantage of these benefits. Good luck!
