Due to limited staffing in our offices during the COVID-19 outbreak, please email requests and supporting documentation to ensure that we are able to receive them. Do not submit them by mail. Note that during this timeframe, there may be additional delays in processing requests.
Test fee reductions may be available for college students who meet all eligibility criteria. If you qualify for a fee reduction, a portion of the test fee may be waived.
You are eligible for a fee reduction only once during a testing year. There are a limited number of waivers available per submission window and per educator preparation program.
