Fee Waivers

<p>Hello,
I submitted four applications via the CommonApp and my payment method was by fee waiver. I have an SAT Fee Waiver for the 2007-2008 testing year. How do I submit the fee waiver to the colleges? Do I have to fill anything out? What's the process?</p>

<p>Also, my application be delayed from being processed or read if I don't submit the fee waiver immediately? My statuses on the CommonApp are "Downloaded," so the colleges have already downloaded them.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Hi collegefreak,
You need to fill out “Request for Waiver of College Application Fee” forms, which you can get (up to four of them) from your school counselor. After you fill one out, mail it to the college’s Admissions Office. I got this information from [SAT</a> Fee Waivers](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>SAT Fee Waivers – SAT Suite | College Board) which links to a PDF listing all the colleges that will grant a waiver. That page also recommends contacting the college first.</p>

<p>I have a question.
What does “OFFLINE” in Payment mean?</p>

<p>amraa, it means that you can’t use commonapp.org to pay the application fee. Check the college’s Web site for information on how to pay your application fee; you probably need to mail them a check.</p>

<p>When you use a fee waiver for the SAT, do you only get up to 4 college application fees waived?
Are there any more fee waivers out there for out of state schools, if you have already used waivers for 4 colleges? Pls help</p>

<p>so the counselor fills that form out then you email it to the admissions office of each university?</p>

<p>@collegekidz1: Yes, there are other types of fee waivers. Check out this article on CC: [Application</a> Fee Waivers - Ask The Dean](<a href=“http://www.collegeconfidential.com/dean/archives/000270.htm]Application”>http://www.collegeconfidential.com/dean/archives/000270.htm)
And try googling “application fee waiver” plus the name of your target college for more options.</p>

<p>@luud193: Close. The counselor gives you the form, and you *mail<a href=“by%20postal%20snail”>/i</a> the physical form to the Admissions Office. I don’t know who fills it out. If you could email the form, a 4-copy limit wouldn’t mean much…</p>

<p>When you say “get up to four of them”
Is it 4 colleges per fee waiver, up to 4 waivers
or is it 1 waiver for up to 4 colleges?</p>

<p>@collegekidz: Four forms. One form per college. That’s it.</p>
