Eligibility to receive fee waivers for the SAT and ACT exams as well as college application fees are determined by the NYC Dept of Education income verification forms. If you have not already completed your child’s income verification form, complete the online form at https://www.myschoolapps.com/Home/PickDistrict .
College Application Fee Waivers
1) The Common Application fee waiver process is completed entirely online. Financially disadvantaged students request a fee waiver in the "Profile" section "Common App Fee Waiver". The counselor will then confirm this information online via Naviance. The Common App fee waiver waivers application fees to all colleges to which a student applies via the Common App site.
2) Non -Common App colleges (MIT, Georgetown, etc.) often accept the CollegeBoard fee waiver, available to students who used SAT fee waivers, which will be available within their online account at www.collegeboard.org. Eligible students may also use a NACAC Fee Waiver. Eligible students who did not use a fee waiver for the SAT may use a NACAC fee waiver.
3) Students using suny.edu to apply to SUNY institutions rather than using the Common App must obtain a separate SUNY fee waiver, which they must complete, sign, and mail to SUNY ASC. Email either Ms. Tosto (jtosto3@schools.nyc.gov ) or Ms. DeMasi (ADeMasi@schools.nyc.gov) for a SUNY fee waiver. We recommend that students use Common App rather than suny.edu whenever possible.
4) CUNY fee waiver information for the 2020-2021 application cycle will be shared as soon as it becomes available to us.
