SAT Fee Waivers
The SAT is one of the most widely used college entrance exams. For many students, the cost of the test can be prohibitive and the process of securing waivers can be cumbersome. To increase Dreamer access to the exam, National provides SAT fee waivers directly to Affiliate staff to disperse among Dreamers. Waivers are available for all 11th and 12th grade Dreamers and will be provided to Affiliate staff upon request.

Obtaining fee waivers from National headquarters is at no cost to Affiliates.
To request fee waivers, email Justine Rosenthal at jrosenthal@ihaveadreamfoundation.org with the number of waivers needed.
Affiliate staff are then able to disperse codes to their Dreamers as they see fit.
Surveying
Surveys allow us to collect high-quality data and feedback from Dreamers that can be used to both improve programming and illustrate our work with external stakeholders. Surveying on a nation-wide scale allows us to see the breadth of our work and identify best practices across the network.
In the 2020-2021 school year, the National headquarters offered two surveys to glean insight on the Dreamer experience and impact. The first was a survey in response to Covid-19 in order to better understand the effects of the pandemic on our students and families. The second was a Socioemotional learning survey through a partnership with the Student Success Network.
Surveys are created for Affiliates, staff member receive hands on support with planning and conducting the survey, and Affiliates receive accessible reports with the analyzed data. This information is then available to guide programming, use in grants or fundraising, and highlight with external partners.
This service is no cost for Affiliates to use.
Survey eligibility depends on the target age range or demographic information intended for the survey but is otherwise open to all Affiliates in good standing. Survey opportunities are shared through ALC calls and individual outreach.
Reach out to National Manager of Data and Reporting, Justine Rosenthal at jrosenthal@ihaveadreamfoundation.org with any questions.
