Students who qualify for free or reduced lunch qualify for fee waivers for most college applications. The College Board states, “The SAT Fee-Waiver Service assists low-income, college-aspiring students for whom payment of fees for the SAT or SAT Subject TestsTM might be a barrier to college entrance.” Private colleges accept NACAC or College Board fee waivers or will waive fees if counselors, teachers, or students request them for students.
