Fee Waiver

Students who wish to apply for an application fee waiver must meet the same criteria as those used for the College Board fee waiver. School counselors must submit a written request for a waiver, or a copy of the College Board waiver request, on behalf of any student.

Veterans, active duty military, and their spouses and dependents also qualify for an application fee waiver.

Waiver requests should be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
