I'm planning to take the SAT soon, but the costs are a bit much for me. Is there a process to apply for a fee waiver code? How do I go about getting one?
Yes, it's definitely possible to get a fee waiver for the SAT if you meet the eligibility requirements. Fee waivers are available for financially eligible students in the United States and its territories, as well as U.S. citizens living abroad. To qualify, you should be in either eleventh or twelfth grade, and you may be eligible based on income-related factors or if you're a part of certain federal or state programs.
To obtain a fee waiver, you should talk to your school counselor or college counselor, as they have access to the fee waiver codes and can distribute them to eligible students. They will help you determine if you qualify, and if you do, they'll provide you with the fee waiver code. Once you have the code, you can use it while registering for the SAT, and the fee for taking the test will be waived.
Make sure to communicate with your counselor well ahead of the registration deadline to ensure you have enough time to complete the process. Good luck with your SAT preparations!
