It allows the test taker to pay a reduced exam registration fee.  The GRE fee waiver also grants access to a bundle of free test prep materials.<\/p>\n<p>The following table shows the specific GRE fees waived as well as what&#8217;s in the free test prep bundle:<\/p>\n<div id=\"tablepress-114-scroll-wrapper\" class=\"tablepress-scroll-wrapper\">\n<table id=\"tablepress-114\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-114 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">Item<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">Original Cost<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">Cost After Fee Waiver Reduction<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">GRE General Test Registration Fee<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$220<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">$100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">GRE Subject Test Registration Fee<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$150<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">$75<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">POWERPREP PLUS\u00ae Online Practice Test 1<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$40<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">POWERPREP PLUS Online Practice Test 2<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$40<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">ScoreItNow!\u2122 Online Writing Practice<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">$20<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">$0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- #tablepress-114 from cache --><\/p>\n<p>In other words, successfully applying for the GRE cost waiver saves you $120 in registration fees for the main exam (GRE General Test).  You also save 50% ($75) if you are taking a GRE Subject Test.<\/p>\n<p>As far as the test prep bundle, you gain access to materials priced at a value of $100.  This includes two full-length GRE practice tests, as well as an online writing assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Do note that this waiver only applies to the first time that you take the GRE.  If you need to retest, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/gre\/test-takers\/general-test\/register\/fees.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you need to submit a new application to apply for another GRE Fee Reduction Voucher<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"waiverqualifications\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4d2079;\">Who Qualifies for a GRE Fee Waiver?<\/h2>\n<p>GRE fee reduction vouchers are offered on a first-come, first-served basis to a limited number of eligible students in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. To qualify for the GRE fee waiver, you must meet the requirements listed below.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: #c5168c;\">For college seniors, you must:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>be a US citizen or resident alien<\/li>\n<li>be receiving financial aid from a US (or Puerto Rico) undergraduate college<\/li>\n<li>have a FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR) with a parental contribution less than $2,700 for your senior year<\/li>\n<li>or be self-supporting with a SAR showing a contribution of less than $3,200 for your senior year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"color: #c5168c;\">For unenrolled college students, you must:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>be a US citizen or resident alien<\/li>\n<li>have applied for financial aid<\/li>\n<li>be self-supporting with a FAFSA Student Aid Report (SAR) showing a contribution of less than $3,200<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"color: #c5168c;\">For unemployed applicants, you must:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>be 18+<\/li>\n<li>be a US citizen or resident alien<\/li>\n<li>have become unemployed in the past 6 months and are still unemployed<\/li>\n<li>submit as proof an Unemployment Benefits Statement from the past 90 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t meet these requirements, then you will be ineligible.  So, unfortunately, if you are an international student, ETS currently does not offer a cost reduction program for you.<\/p>\n<p>However, for both domestic and international students, there are alternative programs that can help reduce your GRE costs.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"programs\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #4d2079;\">Other Programs That Offer GRE Cost Waivers<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re part of an underrepresented group, a first-generation college student, or have demonstrated financial need, other organizations offer fee reduction vouchers.
