Requesting Fee Waivers

Waivers help make competitions accessible for qualifying students or teams.

Process

• For students from the US, ask your college counselor or school principal to send an email to waivers@algoed.co from their official school email address 
• For students outside of the US, ask your school principal to send an email to waivers@algoed.co from their official school email address

• In the email, include student names, emails, competition name and category, and verify that you have financial need. For schools that do not have a custom domain email address, the principal must provide a signed letter on school letterhead containing all the required information. The letter should also be stamped with the school’s official seal or chop.

  
  
  

To ensure equity and fairness, each school is eligible for a maximum of one team fee waiver per competition, and each student may receive up to two fee waivers over the course of their school career.
