Application Fee Waivers

Applicants who have participated in one or more of a list of programs designed to prepare students for graduate study can waive our application fee.

Process

The process for waiving the fee is simple: in our application for admission, simply check the program(s) you have participated in. Once you have checked, the system will automatically waive your application fee.

We receive confirmation of your participation from these organizations directly, and in order to process applications efficiently, we will confirm after your application is submitted.
