Fee waiver requests for Hovenweep are processed by the Southeast Utah Group Fee Coordinator. To qualify for a fee waiver, the purpose of the visit must be educational rather than recreational in nature and must relate directly to the resources of the area. Requests for fee waivers must be made by a recognized educational institution on school letterhead. Requests must include information regarding the specific educational purpose of the trip, the date of the anticipated visit, the particular parks and/or monuments of the Southeast Utah Group that will be visited, and the number of students and teachers in the group.
Please note the following additional requirements:
- Applications must be received at least two weeks in advance of a trip.
- Fee waivers must be obtained prior to your arrival. Fee waivers will not be awarded at entrance stations and refunds (for any paid entrance fees) will not be granted.
- Entrance fees will be waived only if each vehicle has a copy of the fee waiver.
- Reservation and camping fees cannot be waived for educational groups.
How to Make a Request
To request a fee waiver, send an email at least two weeks before your trip to "seug_waivers@nps.gov". Please send your letter (on school letterhead) as an attachment in MS Word, PDF or similar format. Issued fee waivers will be returned by email.
