Educational groups must apply and meet the criteria to receive the waiver. Educational fee waivers are not granted automatically. National Park Service regulations allow school groups and other bona fide national and international educational institutions to obtain a waiver of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park parking tag fee, provided that the visit is for educational or scientific purposes, and the resources or facilities the group proposes to use support those purposes.
