<p>How do you qualify for it? Is it the same as the UCs in which they tell you if you are eligible after you are about to submit your application?</p>
<p>It says: "A counselor or administrator will need to verify this status." How do you go about this?</p>
<p>hi,</p>
<p>back when i was in high school i applied using the fee waiver. you need to go to your high school counselor and tell them about this asap. they will send an email on your behalf to USC regarding your financial situation. the counselor will probably know whether or not you qualify for this or not based on if you receive federal reduced price/free lunch.</p>
<p>if you have more questions you should definitely either email or call the admissions office.</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
