I am a Tunisian Student and I asked my school’s headmaster to dill out the form but he told me that he didn’t know what to write in the explanation field.
Can anyone who got his fee waived tell me what to write (I’ll tell you about my situation and you’ll help me formulate an answer)?
Thanks in advance.
What’s your family’s income?
If it’s less than the USDA reduced-fee lunch program income cutoffs for your family size, check that box and leave it at that. (page 2 here: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-05-08/pdf/2018-09679.pdf)
If your income is above that cutoff, your counselor should write a note that explains why you cannot afford a $50-$100 application fee even though your income suggests that you’d be capable of paying that. (e.g. does a family member have high medical expenses that consume most of your income? did your house recently burn down and your family is struggling to get back on their feet?)
Hi. My counsellor filled the NACAC form. PM me.
