Every child deserves a good education regardless of how much money their family has in the bank. Our test fee waivers and reductions make it easier for students from low-income backgrounds to prepare for and apply to college.
Students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch at school are eligible for fee waivers and reductions, but they may qualify in other ways. To find out if your child qualifies, talk to their school counselor.
If your child qualifies for an SAT fee waiver, they can take the SAT for free—twice. They can also take advantage of other benefits, like being able to send their SAT scores to as many colleges as they want—also for free.
After your child uses an SAT fee waiver for the first time, they'll see their remaining fee waiver benefits when they log in to their College Board account.
Eligible high school juniors can take the PSAT/NMSQT for free with a fee waiver. Talk to your child's school counselor at the end of sophomore year to make sure your child has a fee waiver for the October PSAT/NMSQT test date.
Advanced Placement (AP) Exam fee reductions allow your child to take the exams at a discount. Many states offer financial assistance to make it even easier for eligible students to take an AP Exam. To find out what assistance is available, talk to the AP coordinator at your child's school.
If your child uses a fee waiver to take the SAT, they'll get college application fee waivers automatically delivered to their College Board online account. They don’t have to apply, and they don’t have to talk to anyone. It's that easy.
Fee waivers allow your child to apply for free to over 2,000 U.S. colleges and universities.
