It is best to apply for the Fee Waiver immediately. We mailed the application (on yellow paper) to your post office box in mid-June. If you qualify, the benefits begin immediately.
If a person does not apply for the Fee Waiver (or does not qualify), all fees must be paid in full prior to traveling with any school group.
Waived fees start on the date of Fee Waiver approval and will not be applied retroactively.
A complete Fee Waiver application includes documentation (one of the following):
* Workforce Benefit Statement (TANF/Medicaid),
* SSI Paperwork,
* Most Recent Pay Stub, OR
* Complete and submit the McKinney Homeless Application.
