I'm applying to Kingsborough Community College and was wondering if I can get an application fee waiver. Has anyone successfully received one and what process did you follow?
Fee waivers can certainly help with the application process. For Kingsborough Community College, they accept the NACAC Fee Waiver, as well as the College Board Fee Waiver for individuals who have demonstrated financial need.
If you took the SAT using a fee waiver, this is automatically given to you by College Board and can be used for up to four colleges.
Alternatively, you can fill out the NACAC Fee Waiver form. It's a simple form that you fill and your school counselor signs to verify that the cost of application fees would be a financial hardship for your family.
After filling out the form, you typically upload the waiver document directly in the application platform, or you can send it separately to the admissions office if that's not an option.
In both cases, you should reach out to the admissions office to verify the process for submitting the fee waiver. They can provide you with the most specific and accurate information.
