Eligible

I need help from a native speaker. The sentence I'm having trouble with is "Manuscript submitted before [date] will be eligible for complete waiver once it gets accepted after peer review". I have doubts concerning the degree of certainty that implies "eligible". Does it mean I'll get the waiver for sure, or is it more something like "you could be considered for a waiver a maybe you'll get it, maybe not"?

Anonymous Does it mean I'll get the waiver for sure No. It means that manuscripts submitted after that date cannot get a waiver. Manuscripts submitted before that date will be evaluated to see if they qualify for a waiver.
