How to write an Application Fee Waiver Request

Paying for College
1

<p>I apologize if this is thread is kinda dumb, but I am in need of serious help. </p>

<p>I am an international student studying in one of the best high schools in my country. But the problem is we don’t have a guidance counselor. Our vice-principal who is in charge of helping students with their college applications has absolutely zero clue as to how to write a request, and actually asked me to write one and she would sign it.</p>

<p>Most colleges ask that you provide an explanation as to why you are unable to pay the fee - in my case it’s simply because my parents aren’t rich and I don’t think that I can spend $1000 alone on application fees . So how do I tell them this (“in a mannerly fashion”)?</p>

<p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.</p>

<p>Great letter Akash. Edited version:</p>

<p>Dear X,</p>

<p>Mellowjello is a student of Dhaka Public School in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He is applying to X University for admission in Fall 2005.</p>

<p>As his parents’ annual income is only $XYZ Bangladesh dollars (US$X), payment of the application fee poses significant financial hardship. I therefore kindly request that you consider waiving his application fee.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Yours sincerely,</p>

<p>Mr. X
