Methods to get GMAT Fee Waiver

Question

Hello everyone
Coming from a humble background, the GMAT exam cost of $275 is quite a huge money for me. 
I heard that few colleges offer fee waiver.

Can someone share all the ways through which one can get a fee waiver. Or at least a discount on the exam fee. 
If location matters, India

Just a quick tip to check whether some of the schools you're applying to provide application waivers. NYU Stern, for example, may provide one.

Waiver may be offered by Universities. They are provided waiver codes by GMAC to be shared with needy students.

One can get a fee waiver either from their Undergrad School or from their target schools for Graduation.
However, a school can provide max 10 waivers in 1 year making this very tough and competitive.
Also high chances that a school provides these waivers to students of their undergrad school (or in some other way favor them)

This post discusses in detail how GMAT fee waivers work.

GMAT Fee Waiver: Can You Get One?

TargetKellogg2024 · Answer

I have received fee waivers for upcoming application cycle from below B-schools:
Tepper
Fuqua
Emory
Mendoza

Furthermore, Harvard offers fee waiver in case your annual income is less than $65,000. Some B-schools, such as Darden, do not provide a waiver. Also, there are a few other options - ROMBA, Consortium, etc. but I believe these are applicable only for the US citizens (at least Consortium is).

Key to get these waivers? Attend their events and network.

Unsolicited mention: Many B-schools offer GMAT coupons as well. You just need to ask the admission committee. Though I have not availed any such coupons, but I have got to know about this information from some reliable source.
