On the CommonApp, once Swarthmore is in your "My Colleges" list, you can click on "Questions".

If you click on that, it will bring you to a list. The options are "General", "Academics", "Contacts", "Family", "Other Information", and "Testing".

You will want to click on "General".

You will see a few questions, go to the question that says "Do you intend to use one of these school-specific fee waivers? "

If you click on it, there will be a drop-down menu. You'll want to select "Swarthmore College Fee Waiver - offered a fee waiver directly from Swarthmore".

I hope that helps!
