<p>My College board account MY COLLEGES page says that I have *College Application Fee Waivers available for specific colleges. How should I use them?
On the Common application site: Our member colleges want to make sure that application fees do not pose a barrier for any student who wishes to apply for admission. Do you feel that your financial circumstances might qualify you for an application fee waiver? (Your counselor will be asked to verify your response.)</p>
<p>What should I answer to this? </p>
<p>You must meet at least one of the following indicators of economic need to qualify for an application fee waiver. Select all that apply:
I have received or am eligible to receive an ACT or SAT testing fee waiver
I am enrolled in or am eligible to participate in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch program (FRPL)
My annual family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service
I am enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., TRIO programs such as Upward Bound)
My family receives public assistance
I live in federally subsidized public housing, a foster home or am homeless
I am a ward of the state or an orphan
I can provide a supporting statement from a school official, college access counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader</p>
