90% SAT Fee Waiver: How Much Do You Need to Pay?

The standard SAT fee for students in India is approximately ₹12,000, which covers the base registration charge of $68 and the mandatory international fee of $43. For many Class 11 and 12 students, that is a real financial barrier, particularly when preparation courses, study materials, and college application expenses are already adding up. So to help out students struggling financially through College Board India Scholars Program Buddy4Study helps you get the 90% SAT fee waiver you pay just ₹1,200 instead of the standard ₹12,000.
