SAT and ACT Fee Waiver Eligibility

SAT and ACT scores are one factor colleges may consider when reviewing applications. Fee waivers for the tests are available for some students.

  • To request a fee waiver, students must contact their high school guidance counselor. Both testing companies require a fee waiver form from your guidance office.
  • Students who are eligible for SAT and ACT fee waivers may also be eligible for college application fee waivers. Check with each college to find out about eligibility. 
  • See the links in the sections below to find out if your child is eligible for a fee waiver.
