The AMCAS fee waiver gives you up to 13 schools for free on your primary application. You can apply for more than that, but you have to pay the $30 per school for the extra ones. In addition, if you qualify for that waiver, most schools will waive your secondary fees as well. Theres a few exceptions, but I don't know them offhand...

Check out AMCAS's official website for the Fee Assistance Program. I didn't actually apply for it (no way in hell I would *ever* get it) so I'm not too familiar with the process.

basic qualification is that the applicant's family must earn 300% or less of the federal poverty level, federal poverty level is avialable online, depends on number of persons in the family.

And regardless of dependant/independant status, (and regardless of number of years that the applicant has been independent) parents' income is included in the decision if one qualifies for FAP or not; if applicant is independent and parents live in a separate residence, both applicant AND parent must both earn 300% of federal poverty level or below. (rules may differ if applicant has dependant status, not sure about this)
