  Fee Waivers
  To reduce the obstacle that application fees can create for the neediest of families, beginning with the 2016–17 awarding year, SSS by NAIS will automatically evaluate eligibility for families to receive a fee waiver and no longer require families to request waivers for schools to approve. Fee waiver eligibility will be based on the information families submit on their PFS's regarding total income, family household size, and other factors.
  
  For those families who do not automatically qualify for a fee waiver through SSS, a very limited number of school waivers may be available through the Financial Aid Office. Contact Helen Racowski at (203) 397-1001 ext. 124 for details.
