Is there an application fee waiver for international students at Northern Arizona University?

I'm an international applicant to Northern Arizona University and heard there might be application fee waivers available. Can anyone confirm if this is true and how I might go about applying for one?

Yes, Northern Arizona University (NAU) does offer fee waivers for their application process, and international students can indeed apply for them. To be considered for an application fee waiver, you'll need to demonstrate financial hardship.

While the process to obtain a waiver might vary depending on your circumstance, you'll typically need to contact the admissions office directly and explain your situation. Some schools may also ask you to provide supporting financial documents or complete a specific form to demonstrate need. Keep in mind that granting waivers is at the discretion of the admissions office, so it's not guaranteed even if you meet the requirements.

Remember also that being granted a waiver does not necessarily mean you're admitted to the university. Your application will still be evaluated based on the standard criteria, but a waiver can help lessen the financial burden of applying.

As NAU is a College Board member, you may also be eligible for a College Board fee waiver. If you've taken the SAT using a fee waiver, you can apply to up to four universities for free using the College Board's fee waivers. But be sure to check with NAU's admissions office to confirm they accept these.

In all cases, the most accurate and current information can be obtained by directly contacting NAU's admissions office. They'll be able to guide you through your specific situation and provide insight into the necessary steps.
