College Application Fee Waivers
Every senior who takes the SAT or SAT Subject Tests using
a fee waiver will receive four college application fee waivers directly from
the College Board. Eligible students can use them to apply to any of the over
2,000 participating colleges.
How Students Access Their Fee Waivers Online
Eligible seniors will access their college application
fee waivers via their College Board online accounts by visiting collegeboard.org/mysat.
Once students log in, they will see a message titled Apply
to college for free with a link to where they can print their college
application fee waivers, search for colleges that accept the waivers, and
review submission instructions specific to each school. See illustrated
guide to accessing the waivers, as well as a sample online form).
As a student, you can search for colleges that accept application fee waivers
by visiting collegeboard.org/waiver-colleges
.
College Application Fee-Waiver Distribution
Because students who take the SAT using a fee waiver have
already had their eligibility verified by their counselor, college application
fee waivers do not require additional counselor approval. Here is how it will
work for different populations of students:
·
Seniors who
tested during previous academic years will receive their fee waivers online by
July.
·
Seniors
testing for the first time will receive their fee waivers at the same time they
receive their SAT test scores — typically 19 days after the test date.
·
Juniors who
test with an SAT fee waiver will receive fee waivers at the beginning of their
senior year.
·
Students
will be able to access their college application fee waivers up through one
year after graduation from high school (note: fee waivers can only be used for
first year college admissions and not transfer admissions).
Terms of Use
Student may use up to four college application fee
waivers from the College Board.
Participating colleges have agreed to consider waiving
their application fees. Colleges may have specific fee-waiver policies or
criteria, and they retain the final decision on whether to waive the
application fee. College application fee-waivers should not be used for
applications to colleges that are not listed in the directory.
College application fee waivers are not intended for
waiver of test fees for either the SAT or SAT Subject Tests.
