<p>random question. is having a totaly family income of around 17K, enough to get a fee waiver, as I heard it isn't used that often?</p>
<p>no harm it trying</p>
<p>Ask your college counselor to arrange it for you. It is a standardized procedure.</p>
<p>thanks!....</p>
<p>17k should be well under their limits. i don't have specific numbers, but if the cutoff for getting grants instead of loans is 50-60k, i imagine there's no way they'd hose you on app fees.</p>
<p>ok, thanks!</p>
<p>Can internationals apply for fee waivers at Columbia?</p>
<p>if you're going to be eligible for a huge amount of financial aid, i can't see why not</p>
