Common App Fee Waivers -- are they guaranteed?

3 of the qualifications on the Common App fee waiver section apply to me. Does this mean I’m guaranteed a fee waiver from every college I’m applying to, or is there a possibility that colleges on the Common App won’t give me a fee waiver (even though I meet the Common App’s qualifications)?

If there is a possibility I won’t get a waiver, do you know how often colleges choose to give students fee waivers based on the Common App qualifications? Is this decision at all based on academic merit?

Thanks so much!
