    Fee Waiver Requested

    Your application indicates that you believe you qualify for a fee waiver based on either the Common Application indicators of economic need or Emerson College specific qualifications.
    Please note that your school official or community leader must send us, either through email, Common Application, fax or mail, proof of one of the following if you qualify for a Common App fee waiver:

    • You have received or are eligible to receive an ACT or SAT testing fee waiver
    • You are enrolled in or eligible to participate in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch program (FRPL)
    • Your annual family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service
    • You are enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., TRIO programs such as Upward Bound)
    • Your family receives public assistance
    • You live in a federally subsidized public housing, a foster home or are homeless
    • You are a ward of the state or an orphan
    • You can provide a supporting statement from a school official, college access counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader

    If you feel that you qualify for an Emerson College specific waiver and received a fee waiver code which has not been processed, please email us at admission@emerson.edu.

    Please note that should you find you do not qualify for a fee waiver, you will be asked to submit payment of $65.
