School Fees Waiver

Not sure if your family is eligible for a fee waiver? Consult the income eligibility guidelines below. These are the same figures used to determine eligibility for free meals.

Household income includes ALL members of your household who receive wages, public aid, unemployment, child support, Social Security, Social Security Disability, etc. For example:

• If your parents live with you and they receive Social Security or a pension, that income is included in "household income."
• If your student or other adult children who live with you are working, their income is included in "household income."
• If you are living with other adults, their wages, public aid, Social Security benefits, etc. are included in "household income."

If your household income falls into one of the eligible categories, print the Instructions to Apply for the 2021-22 Fee Waiver and the 2021-22 Fee Waiver Application. (Links to both of these documents are also located to the left of this page under "Fee Waivers.")

Using the instructions, fill out the application and mail it with your registration documents and income verification to:
