ACT/SAT Fee Waivers
Everyone knows that to get the best score, you should take the ACT and/or
SAT multiple times. But with fees of $39.50-56.50 for the ACT and $43-54.50
for the SAT, the price can be prohibitive for many students, creating an obstacle
between them and their best possible score. Did you know that it is possible to
get a fee waiver for these tests?
You may qualify for an SAT or ACT waiver if you answer yes to any of the
following:
• You participate in the free lunch program.
• You participate in a state or federal program for low income
families, such as Upward Bound.
• You live in public housing.
• You live in a foster home.
• You are a ward of the state or an orphan.
• Your family meets income requirements.

In addition, students who receive ACT/SAT waivers may automatically qualify
for college application waivers. Speak to your school guidance counselor for
more details!
