Try SAT, Get Four Free: SAT Fee Waiver Program Offers Students Four College App Fee Waivers

2007-04-03T00:03:00.000-07:00

The College Board, the creators of the SAT, have created the SAT Program Fee Waiver Service, a fee waiver program that allows students who use the program to cover their SAT testing fees to apply to up to four colleges at no fee. The College Board partnered with several hundred colleges throughout the U.S. to offer this program. Here's how it works:

If you use SAT Reasoning Test or SAT Subject Test fee waivers and plan to enter college in fall of 2007 you are eligible to receive up to four Request for Waiver of College Application Fee forms from your counselor. These forms notify participating colleges that you have participated in the SAT Program Fee-Waiver Service and request that they consider waiving their application fees. To use a form, first make sure the college will accept it, then mail the completed, signed form with your college application.

Not all colleges will accept the fee waiver. Access a list of participating colleges and universities.
