If a student is concerned about the fee for applying to a college, application fee waivers are available to students who qualify for free/reduced lunch, are eligible for an ACT waiver, receive public assistance, are experiencing financial hardship (example: their parent lost a job), etc. Students can talk to their counselor or college adviser about getting a fee waiver.
During College Application Week, some schools are also waiving the application fee for all students making it FREE to apply from November 3-7.
