With rising tuition costs, it’s crucial for prospective college students and their families to find ways to save on educational expenses. There are fee waivers available for various college-related expenses, so it’s worth investigating whether you qualify for them.
Lynnette Khalfani-Cox, author of College Secrets for Teens, shared her advice with USA Today:
Some colleges offer a 'fly-in visit' for high school students, covering travel expenses. In certain states, the ACT is offered for free. Additionally, qualifying for an SAT fee waiver can also grant you a waiver for college application fees later. Understanding these waivers, along with institutional scholarships and cost-saving strategies, can significantly reduce your expenses...
Eligibility for a fly-in visit depends on the specific college, but it’s definitely worth checking. To see if you’re eligible for college application fee waivers, fill out this form from the National Association for College Admission Counseling and follow the application steps.
