<p>My counselor gave me a Request for Waiver for College Application Fee for my private college applications. It says i have to enclose it with my college application, but im doing my application online, so wat do i do?</p>
<p>Well, when I received an application fee waiver request, i just sent it through the mail. Just send it along with your letters of recommendation and other supplemental materials that you can't submit online. You should be fine.</p>
<p>You have to apply through the mail, unless the college does not have an application fee for applying online.</p>
<p>Generally you don't HAVE to apply on paper, through the mail, in order to use a fee waiver. Post #2 is correct. But there are some anomalies and quirks among institutions, and a few, like Howard I believe, do not accept fee waivers. NC A & T does not accept them for out of state students. It's worth a 20 cent or even one dollar call to call the school where you want to use it (mailed to them with the other papers) and ask if and how you use it. They get those calls all the time. CollegeBoard who issues the waivers, even suggests that you call to check if a school accepts them.</p>
<p>Where is the site that i can get the SAT Request for Waiver of College Application Fee form from?</p>
<p>Can't you just write a letter to admissions saying you would like to have your application fee added to your tuition?</p>
<p>how do i get free waiver if my consolor is not giving any out is there any where else i can go to get some</p>
<p>Your counselor is very cruel if they are not willing to write you an application fee waiver request letter. You can either request an application fee waiver through your counselor or if your school has the collegeboard application fee waiver request slips, you can use that, but you have to have received a fee waiver for the SAT in order to use them.</p>
<p>According to the Collegeboard website, students who HAVE used the fee waiver for the SAT or SAT subject tests (their computer remembers) are entitled to receive up to 4 fee waivers. It is toward the bottom of one of the pages on the Collegeboard website. Counselors should NOT be limiting students to less than 4, though they do. Print it out and show it to your counselor. Counselors are paid good money to do their job, one part of which is to request enough fee waivers from Collegeboard so that students can have some options in applying. </p>
<p>And for students, plan your strategy so that you use the fee waivers for the more expensive applications, since you may need to pay for some others. And remember, for all those in public school, these fees remind you that here begins the end of your free education--so take advantage of all that high school has to offer (i.e. get decent grades!) while you still have it.</p>

<p>You are making an assumption that you re automatically going to be admitted to a school and that is not the case. At most schools, your application is not processed until you pay the fees or turn in a fee waiver.</p>
<p>College board fee waivers come from and must be signed by your counselor. If you were eligible to for a fee waiver to take the SAT, then you will be eligible for college application fee waivers. </p>
<p>You can still submit your application on line and send the free waiver via snail mail with your supporting documentation.</p>
<p>One of the biggest reasons that students do not get fee waivers is thta they do not turn in the supporting documentation that makes them eligible for fee waivers- the free lunch forms or proof of income. No one is asking whether or not you eat the free lunch, bring your lunch, don't have lunch in your program etc. If you are eligible for free lunch, you are automatically eligible for fee waivers. However, the school should have the documentation on file for audit purposes.</p>
