How expensive is applying to Syracuse?

I was just looking at Syracuse as a potential choice and wondering about the application fee. How much does it cost to apply? Is there a fee waiver available? Thanks in advance!

As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, the application fee for Syracuse University is $75. This fee is associated with the cost of processing your application and is non-refundable.

However, if this fee is a financial burden for you, Syracuse University does offer fee waivers. There are a few ways to qualify for a fee waiver:

1. You have received or are eligible to receive an ACT or SAT testing fee waiver

2. You are enrolled in or eligible to participate in the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch Program (FRPL).

3. Your annual family income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

4. You meet the requirements listed by your state for the21st Century Scholars program (this is for Indiana students only).

5. You are a ward of the state or an orphan.

6. You can provide a supporting statement from a school official, college access counselor, financial aid officer, or community leader.

If you fall under any of these categories, you can request a fee waiver when you fill out your Common Application or Coalition Application. You need to check the box that indicates that you feel the fee is a financial burden. You also need to submit the required documentation proving your eligibility.

Keep in mind that while a fee waiver covers the cost of applying, it does not necessarily cover other potential costs associated with the application process, such as sending test scores or visiting the campus. Make sure to plan for these costs as well.
