What if a student cannot afford to pay?
Fee waivers are available for both the EXPLORE and the ACT/SAT registration fees. To qualify, students must be eligible for federally subsidized assistance programs. Fee waiver requests must be made in writing on school letterhead, signed by a school official, and enclosed with the MATS application. A limited number of fee rebates are available for the ACT and SAT I; these are available on a first-come, first-served basis (see the MATS application materials for information on how to apply). A limited number of fee waivers are also available for the EXPLORE, but are also granted on a first-come, first-served basis (see the MATS application materials for information on how to apply).
