How do I request a college fee waiver?

I'm in need of some financial assistance for college application fees. I've heard there's a possibility to request a fee waiver, but I'm not sure how to go about it. Can anyone help me out?

Absolutely, I understand that the cost of college applications can really add up, and requesting a fee waiver can help alleviate some of that financial burden. Each college has its own process to request a waiver, but there's a general way of going about it.

First, check if you're eligible for a fee waiver. Most colleges use the eligibility guidelines set by The College Board, which cover things like income, family size, and your participation in programs like free/reduced lunch or Upward Bound. To request a waiver, you can use the College Board or ACT Fee Waiver forms during the application process. Additionally, the Common Application and Coalition Application offer options to request a fee waiver directly within the application.

Best of luck!
