How to obtain an application fee waiver for Nassau Community College?

I'm interested in applying to Nassau Community College but might need a fee waiver due to financial constraints. Does anyone know how to apply for a waiver and what criteria need to be met?

Fee waivers can sometimes be a tremendous help when you're applying to colleges. For Nassau Community College, the application fee waiver process typically involves demonstrating financial need.

Usually, you'll need to contact the Admissions Office directly to inquire about their specific process for requesting application fee waivers, as the procedure and criteria tend to vary by school. It would be helpful to be prepared with some documentation, such as a letter from your school counselor, mentor, or another adult authority aware of your financial situation. This letter should explain your financial hardship and why the fee waiver would be beneficial.

You can also check if you're eligible for the College Board’s Fee Waiver program, which applies if you’re a junior or senior in high school and meet certain income eligibility guidelines. If you're eligible for this, the College Board will automatically send you four college application fee waivers to use when you're applying to college.

Remember, requesting a fee waiver is a case-by-case basis, and not every request will be granted. But it doesn’t hurt to ask, so reach out to the Admissions Office of Nassau Community College to find out your options.

Good luck with your application process!
