I'm an international student interested in Northeastern University but worried about the application fees. Is there a way to get a fee waiver, or do I have to pay in full? Any advice would be appreciated!
Yes, Northeastern University does offer application fee waivers for international students. However, they are typically granted on a case-by-case basis. Factors that may qualify you for a fee waiver include your family's financial need or participation in certain college preparatory programs.
Northeastern accepts fee waivers from the Common Application, Coalition Application, College Board, and the ACT. If you do not have an existing fee waiver from one of these organizations, Northeastern may need an official request from a school official. You should also definitely contact the admissions office if you have questions or concerns!
One helpful tip: when you reach out, be ready to explain your circumstances and why you feel a waiver is necessary. Details such as family income, economic hardship or other factors could be necessary when applying for a fee waiver. It's best to be honest and upfront about your situation to ensure the university can make an informed decision!
Remember, applying early and being proactive is key. You wouldn't want to delay your application process due to processing times of the fee waiver request. Good luck in your application to Northeastern University!
