What's the free code for SAT waiver fee?

Hey, frantically trying to deal with SAT registration right now. Rumor has it that there's a free code for the SAT waiver fee, but I'm kinda stuck. Is there any truth to this? If so, where could I get this code, please? Any aid would be a lifesaver.

There isn't a "free code" that you can just input to get a fee waiver for the SAT. However, the College Board does offer SAT fee waivers to eligible students. The fee waiver covers the cost of the SAT registration and even includes benefits like free score sends to colleges.

Are you eligible? Generally, you'll qualify for a fee waiver if you're enrolled in or eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), have an annual family income that falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines, are enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families, etc.

How to get it? If you're a high schooler, you can see your school counselor – they usually have SAT fee waivers on hand and can give one to you if you're eligible. If you're a homeschooled student or for some reason can't get a fee waiver from your school counselor, you can also contact a local community-based organization that partners with the College Board.

Remember that you can't just apply the fee waiver yourself during registration. You must get it from a school counsellor or other eligible entity and they'll provide you with a 12-digit fee waiver code.

These fee waivers can also be used for two free SAT Subject Tests, and some colleges even waive their application fees for students who took the SAT with a fee waiver! UTILIZE them if you're eligible; they're a great resource. Remember to handle this ASAP so you can register on time. Good luck!
