For Domestic Applicants and U.S. Citizens

The Graduate School (TGS) is able to provide a limited number of fee waivers to eligible applicants.

For International Applicants

There may be some cases where we may not be able to grant application fee waiver requests from all eligible applicants due to the volume of requests we receive. As a result, we encourage applicants to begin their applications as soon as possible, since application fee waiver requests are reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please note that the information below details how to submit a request for a waiver and that the waiver is not guaranteed.
