Why can't I access the SAT Fee Waiver Request Form?

You must be signed in to your College Board account to access the SAT Fee Waiver Request Form. If you are signed in to your account and see a message that indicates you're ineligible with the Request button grayed out, this could be for one of the following reasons:

  1. You don't meet the grade eligibility requirements.
  2. You already have fee waiver benefits.
  3. You already completed the SAT Fee Waiver Request Form.
  4. Your SAT Fee Waiver Request Form was denied.
  5. You are a U.S. citizen but live outside the United States or its territories. (In this case, please reach out to your school for a fee waiver code.)

You can confirm reasons 2–4 by checking your email or your My SAT account. You should receive a decision within two weeks of applying.
