obtain collegeboard fee waiver

<p>can someone tell me how to obtain a collegeboard fee waiver?</p>

<p>u gotta talk to a guidance counselor. and if not its almost hundred percent guranteed there is someone at ur school that has them. i went to mine and she gave me four (the max) right at the spot. but make sure that u used an sat fee waiver before or ur not allowed to use one.</p>

<p>and if u cant get one just ask ur counselor to write a letter to the admissions office talking about how paying for the app will put u under financial hardship.</p>

<p>If you took the SAT using a College Board fee waiver, you're automatically eligible for four College Board application fee waivers. </p>

<p>If not, you can always use a NACAC fee waiver (which I'd recommend), and I think that most colleges that accept College Board fee waivers will also accept a NACAC fee waiver or simply a letter from your counselor explaining your financial situation, as the previous poster mentioned.</p>

<p>what if i need one by the 1st of jan.?</p>

<p>than u gotta contact the school or something. or write a letter urself because im guessing ur school closed right now. i think u can also get it from a city oficial or something, the letter explaining ur financial hardships that is.</p>

<p>can i just submit my application first then do all that?</p>

<p>yup. just indicate ur using some kind of fee waiver.</p>

<p>thank you very much
sorry one more question
isn't it with that fee waiver you can use it for only 4 schools?</p>

<p>Can one submit the fee waiver after 01-01 ?</p>

<p>Yeah, you can only use it for four schools, so in my opinion a NACAC fee waiver (for each school I am applying to on common app also accepts a NACAC waiver) is better.</p>

<p>I bet you can submit a fee waiver after January 1st, but it would probably be best for it to be postmarked by the application deadline...also I'm not 100% sure.</p>

<p>what is a NACAC fee waiver?</p>

<p>NACAC is the National Association for College Admission Counseling. NACAC has a fee waiver form that can be filled out by your counselor and mailed to each college. You can just photocopy them and fill in each college's name. I suppose you could also add a letter from your counselor or a handwritten note.</p>
