To The Principal, [School Name], [City] Date: [Date] Subject: Application for fee concession Respected Sir/Madam, I am [Your Name], a student of class [Class and Section] of your school.

When to use this letter

Use this when the family truly cannot pay the full fee: a job loss, an illness, a death in the family, a failed crop. Schools have limited room for concessions and each one decides its own rules, so ask the office first what help exists, such as a concession, a scholarship or instalments, and apply for the one that fits.

Before you send it

Give real figures for income and family size. The school may ask for proof.
Mention your marks and attendance. A concession is easier to grant to a regular student.
Say whether you need a full or a part concession if you know what the school offers.
Ask a parent to sign the application as well. Most schools want the parent's request on record.

What to attach

Income certificate or salary slip, if the school asks
Copy of the last report card

How to send or submit it

A parent signs it and submits it at the school office, addressed to the principal, with whatever proof the school asks for. Request a meeting if the matter is hard to put on paper. Keep paying what you can in the meantime, and keep the receipts.

Mistakes that get it sent back

No proof of the situation described, where the school has asked for it.
The amount or share of concession requested is not stated.
Sent after fees had been unpaid for many months without a word to the school.
The parent's signature and contact number are missing.
