Dear UCHS Parents and Students,
A limited number of ACT fee waivers are available for eligible UCHS juniors and seniors. Please note that the registration deadline for the October 22nd, 2011 exam is this Friday, September 16th.
A high school student is eligible for the fee waiver if they meet ALL THREE eligibility requirements:
1) Currently enrolled in the 11th or 12th grade.
2) Is a U.S. citizen or is testing in the U.S., U.S. territories or Puerto Rico.
3) Meets at least one of the economic need indicators below:
• Is enrolled in a free or reduced-price lunch program.
• Is enrolled in a program for the economically disadvantaged (for example, AVID or a TRIO program such as Upward Bound).
• Family’s annual income falls within the levels listed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for reduced-price lunches (see attached link to Student Guidelines for ACT Fee Waivers).
• Family receives public assistance.
• Family lives in federally subsidized public housing.
• Is a resident in a foster home.
Students wishing to obtain an ACT fee waiver application should see Mr. Compagnone in the front office across from attendance. Because of the limited number of waivers available, they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.
