How to get an SAT fee waiver?

Hi all, I'm a junior on a tight budget and I was wondering if there's a code or some sort of procedure I need to follow to get an SAT fee waiver. Please let me know, and thank you in advance!

Hi there! SAT fee waivers are available for eligible students who demonstrate financial need. You'd want to speak to your high school counselor, as they are responsible for distributing the waivers to students who qualify. The criteria for eligibility include participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), meeting income guidelines, or being in a family that receives public assistance.

When you receive a fee waiver, it usually comes with a unique code that you can enter during the registration process for the SAT. Once you have the code, go to the College Board website and sign in or create an account. When registering for the SAT, you'll come across a payment section where it will ask for a fee waiver code. Enter the code provided by your counselor in this section.

Remember, SAT fee waivers not only cover the cost of the test but also provide other benefits like sending score reports to colleges for free and applying to a certain number of colleges without application fees. So, make sure to talk to your high school counselor about your eligibility early on, so you can focus on studying for the test without worrying about the finances. Best of luck!
