Which Students Qualify for Fee Waivers?

Fee waivers are generally given to students who demonstrate financial need. For students who request a fee waiver based on financial need, the exact requirements to qualify will depend on the waiver process the student is using. Students can expect a fee waiver if they receive government assistance based on their participation in programs for low-income families. Students that require a fee waiver for ACT or SAT, please contact Katelyn Morgan (katelyn.morgan@osceolaschools.net) to receive a waiver.

How to Get a Fee Waiver

Students eligible for the College Board's SAT testing fee waiver will automatically be eligible for four college application fee waivers. Students are eligible for SAT testing fee waivers if they are enrolled in the National School Lunch Program, have a family income that falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines, are enrolled in a government program for low-income students, are a member of family that receives public assistance, are living in federally subsidized public housing or living in a foster home, or are homeless, a ward of the state, or an orphan.

If you are eligible for the ACT test fee waiver, you may also be eligible for the Request for Waiver or Deferral of College Admission Application Fee. The requirements for the ACT test fee waiver are very similar to the SAT test fee waiver.
