Hardship Letter Fee Waiver

I am writing this hardship letter to request that my application fee be waived in light of my financial circumstances.

My family and I are hard workers, but this expense would be an undue hardship upon our situation. My parents' total income is {amount} per year, but in addition to that they are supporting {number} dependents and paying {amount} for schooling between {number} of their children. Furthermore, recently {illness, natural disaster, family death} has cost them {rough amount} in {hospital bills, fees, etc.} I hope it is clear to you that, while I am both ambitious and determined concerning my education, I cannot hope to be considered without this waiver. It would mean a lot with regards to my future.

I am attaching my parents' income reports and expense worksheets as well as their returns from the past year. I am also attaching my transcript, as proof of my hard work and enthusiasm in apply to this {institution}.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
