Fee Waiver Question

Didn’t get any nibbles in College Admissions, so I figured I’d try here.

My niece told me last night that she got a fee waiver for some of her college apps, but was told it requires that she take the SAT/ACT, which won’t happen in time for EA apps.

Is it really the case that she has to take the tests after she’s been granted a fee waiver? It makes no sense to me. I don’t want her to miss out on scholarship deadlines or EA because she has been given poor advice.

I know in order to get the four free scores, she’d have to retake, but I didn’t think that was the case for actual college apps.

TIA!
