Getting a SAT fee waiver?

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a tight financial spot, and I was wondering if there's any way to get my SAT fee waived? Or are there other resources for students taking the SAT who need some financial assistance?

Yes, there are ways to get your SAT fee waived! The College Board, which administers the SAT, offers fee waivers to students who need financial assistance. You'll need to meet certain eligibility criteria to qualify.

Eligibility criteria for SAT fee waivers are primarily based on financial need. If you're enrolled in or eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program, your family receives public assistance, you're in foster care, you're homeless, or your family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines, you could be eligible for a fee waiver.

Fee waivers are provided to your school counselor, so your first step should be to reach out to your counselor or a representative at your school who works with the College Board. They will be able to guide you on your eligibility and can provide you with fee waiver codes. If you’re a homeschool student, you will need to contact a local high school's counselor.

Keep in mind that an SAT Fee Waiver covers a lot more than just the cost of the test. They also cover up to 4 score sends, 2 free question-and-answer services, and unlimited score verifications. This could be very beneficial in your college application process!
