Fee Waivers

Fees can be a barrier for you when it comes to testing and applying to college? You may want to see if you qualify for a fee waiver. We offer fee waivers to help lower-income students cover these fees. Students who meet the eligibility requirements can pick up a FEE WAIVER APPLICATION from Mr. Jason Cook in the Counseling Office.

If you can't afford the registration fee for the ACT (No Writing) or ACT Plus Writing, you may be eligible for an ACT Fee Waiver. Information about the eligibility requirements and how to request a fee waiver is sent each summer to high schools.

You must meet all of the following requirements:

• • Currently enrolled in high school in the 11th or 12th grade.
  • Either a United States citizen or testing in the U. S., U.S. territories, or Puerto Rico.
  • Meet one or more indicators of economic need listed on the ACT Fee Waiver form.

  If you are eligible, you may use a maximum of two separate fee waivers total. The waiver is used once you register, even if you do not test on the requested test date.

  IMPORTANT: To take full advantage of the waiver, you must follow through and test on your registered test date.

  Fee waivers cover only the basic registration fee for your test option, including up to four college choices (if you provide valid codes when you register). Waivers do not cover the late registration fee, test date or test center changes, standby fee , or any other services.

  You cannot request a fee waiver directly from ACT; you must contact your high school counselor. If you receive an ACT Fee Waiver Form, follow the "Student Directions" on it for your registration method (or if requesting Special Testing).

  Note: If you register online, and register during the late period or request any additional services, you must enter a credit card to pay those fees before submitting your registration.
