How students send fee waiver requests
userEducator Xello productXello 6-12 Time2 minutes

Students can request educators send a fee waiver form on their behalf to their institutions of choice. They complete the form, upload it to the College Applications page in Xello, and then send the request for an educator to send the form to the institution. Students will need to have created application trackers for the schools they want to send the fee waiver form.

TipTip: Complete the Authorized Official section of the form before uploading it to a Dashboard resource for your students to download and fill in. This will save you from manually editing each student's fee waiver before sending it to the institution. For more details on how to do this, check out Share the fee waiver form in Xellonew tab.
