How do I get my fee waived for the CSS Profile?

For U.S. citizens of low-income backgrounds, CSS Profile fee waivers are granted automatically for up to eight schools directly from the College Board. MIT is not able to offer a fee waiver directly.

You may be eligible for a waiver if any of the following applies to you:

  • you received an SAT fee waiver
  • your family adjusted gross income is under $100,000
  • you are an orphan or ward of the court under the age of 24

Visit the College Board for detailed information on eligibility and how to apply.

There are no fee waivers for international students.
