Who qualifies for an ACT/SAT test fee waiver?

• Enrolled in a federal free or reduced-price lunch program at school.

• Family’s total annual income is at or below USDA levels for free or reduced-price lunches on the USDA Food and Nutrition Service website.

• Enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (for example, a federally funded program such as GEAR UP or Upward Bound).

The NCAA and NAIA no longer requires a ACT/SAT score for initial athletic eligibility. Do student athletes still need to take either test?

• While the NCAA and NAIA no longer requires ACT or SAT scores for initial eligibility, you should still consider taking the test as it can be beneficial for college admissions and scholarships, especially for selective institutions. Individual colleges and universities may still have their own testing policies for admissions and academic scholarships.

Can a student athlete receive accommodations during the test?

• If a child receives an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan, they can get accommodations for each test.
