Is it implied or should I directly say it?

Hello,

I’m a senior that’s applying to colleges and have been unable to take SAT subject tests because of the financial barriers it poses. I understand that this is not uncommon and many schools address this on their websites. I’m a Questbridge finalist and my family’s income is mentioned in some of my application essays, so the admissions officers will know of my financial situation. Would it still be necessary to directly tell them why I don’t have any SAT subject tests, or is it implied?

If I were to tell them, how would I do so? Would I send them an email, include a brief statement and submit it as “additional information” on my application portal, or do something entirely different?

Thank you for your time.
