Looking for a sample letter format to write an application to your school/ college principal to provide you fees exemption? Read this blog to get an accurate idea of writing a request letter to the Principal for school fee exemption.
In spite of various scholarships and schemes offered by numerous government and non-government organizations, many students are not able to take complete advantage of such financial aids due to various factors. It could be knowledge deficiency or incompetency to apply for the eligible scholarship program. Although there is a reserved quota for BPL (Below Poverty Line) students in every government and private school in India; many ignorant parents find it easier to drop out their child from the school instead of seeking any financial aid through various available channels.
Moreover, many students and parents of middle-class families are also facing financial problems after the Covid-19 lockdown. Students from the weak economical background can write an application to the principal requesting them to waive off their fees. In such a case, the principal or the relevant authority will make an inquiry to examine the relevancy of the facts. Students are offered an exemption from fees if the grounds of the application are found accurate and according to the policies of the concerned school or college.
