Fee Waivers
All students who meet College Board's SAT fee waiver eligibility criteria can either receive SAT fee waiver benefits by obtaining a code from their counselor or by completing a fee waiver request form on our website. Learn more about the fee waiver eligibility criteria and supporting eligible students through the fee waiver process.

Fee Waiver Codes
SAT fee waiver codes will continue to be sent directly to schools through the K–12 Score Reporting Portal. School counselors identify first-time fee waiver–eligible students at their school and distribute a fee waiver code to them. Students who've already tested with a fee waiver will automatically have their full set of fee waiver benefits in their College Board account.
See the Resources section for more information about fee waivers.
