<p>Hi, I'm home schooled and basically have to find out any information about school myself and I'm very confused. I'm trying to apply to schools for spring and I think I would qualify for a fee waiver. When I called one of the schools I was applying to, they told me that FAFSA should have sent me an email telling me about a fee waiver... I have seen no such email!</p>
<p>This is what i got off here:
"If you are a homeschooled student in the United States or U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, who cannot afford to pay the test fees, you must provide proof of eligibility to your local high school or agency fee-waiver administrator or counselor. Only a school or agency counselor can provide you with an SAT fee waiver. If you qualify for an SAT fee waiver, you can also receive up to four Request for Waiver of College Application Fee forms to request application waivers from higher education institutions."</p>
<p>Where can I find out more info about this? I took the SAT but have no hs counselor. what do I do? The down payment for one housing app is $500 plus $40 for the admission form! I don't have this kind of money... please help!!</p>
<p>The FAFSA has nothing to do with granting fee waivers. There are many non-profit agencies that provide free college counseling. they should be able to provide you with a fee waiver.</p>
<p>Ummm how do I find these non-profit agencies?</p>
<p>I really need help and fast. spring registration ends nov 1st</p>
<p>SAT is a test
FAFSA is a federal grant</p>
<p>Neither have to do with application fee waivers to the schools you wish to apply to. Which schools are these?</p>
<p>Typically after you fill out the application, they will ask you additional financial questions before they assume you have to pay. That is when they decide if you qualify.</p>
<p>For example, any Cal State application process has a system that calculates your eligibility.</p>
<p>Slow down…are you just now applying for admission? If so, you’d typically only pay the $40 application fee. Housing deposits are usually made after acceptance. They are two separate things and you’re not likely to find any waiver of housing deposit outside of the college itself. Don’t pay anything toward housing until you have an acceptance and a financial aid offer unless the housing deposit is refundable. It sounds like this is money that you can’t afford to lose.</p>
<p>Yeah, I went down to the school and the admissions counselor did it for me. Quick advice for all students, instead of wasting time calling the school or searching up info online, just go down to the office/person from the school and the issue is resolved in a matter of minutes…</p>
