Does Case Western Reserve University offer an application fee waiver for international students? I'm trying to manage my application budget and would appreciate any tips or insights on how to avoid steep application fees.
Yes, Case Western Reserve University does offer application fee waivers for international students. To request a waiver, you'll need to email the admissions office directly at admission@case.edu and explain your need for the waiver due to financial hardship. Include a brief explanation of your situation and why you're interested in applying to Case Western.
Just remember, this is not guaranteed and is considered on a case-by-case basis. You'll likely receive an email reply with either an approval or rejection of your request. To really emphasize your request, do your best to convey your deep interest in Case Western, and how attending this institution fits into your academic and career goals.
Managing your application budget can definitely be a challenge. As a general tip, consider narrowing down your list of schools to those that are a good fit for your academic interests and long-term goals. It may also be beneficial to seek out other schools that offer fee waivers or have no application fee. Programs such as the Common App also have an application fee waiver request system that can be utilized. Lastly, keep in mind the additional costs of sending test scores and financial documents, which can add up. Good luck with your applications!
