Am I eligible for a fee waiver?
If you are a high school junior or senior and 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.
To be eligible, you must meet the following requirements:
-
You currently attend high school as a junior or senior in the United States, U.S. territories, Puerto Rico, or Canada.
-
You meet at least one indicator of economic need listed on the ACT Fee Waiver form. Ask your counselor for more information.
If you are eligible, you may use a maximum of two fee waivers total. The waiver is used once you register, even if you do not test on the requested 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.
