Where is the Common App fee waiver section?

I've been trying to apply for a fee waiver through the Common App, but I'm having trouble finding the section on the website. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Finding the fee waiver section in the Common App can be tricky. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you locate it:

1. Sign in to your Common App account and go to the "Common App" tab on the top left of the page.

2. There will be several sections listed on the left side of the page. Scroll down to the section titled "Profile."

3. Once you're in the "Profile" section, you'll find a subsection called "Common App Fee Waiver" where you can request a fee waiver.

To be eligible for a fee waiver, you must meet one or more of the provided criteria, such as qualifying for free/reduced lunch, being enrolled in a TRIO program, or experiencing financial hardship. Once you have selected the criteria that apply to you, your counselor will have to verify your eligibility before the fee waiver is granted. When you submit your application, the fee waiver, if approved, will be automatically applied.

Remember to check each college's specific instructions regarding fee waivers, as some may require additional steps or documentation. Good luck with your applications!
