A Request for Fee Waiver is a document that a student may submit to their college or university in order to request for a reduction or exemption from paying certain fees. This document typically includes the student’s personal information, their financial situation, and any additional supporting documentation. There are two main types of Request for Fee Waiver: need-based and merit-based. Need-based waivers are typically granted to students based on their financial situation, such as income level, assets, or household size. Merit-based waivers are granted to students who have shown exemplary performance in certain areas, such as academics, extracurricular activities, or community service.
