I'm considering applying to Southern New Hampshire University as an international student. If anyone has applied recently, could you tell me how much the application fee is? Are there any ways to reduce or waive this fee?
Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) is known for its accessibility and it extends this to prospective students as well. As of the current application cycle, it's great news - SNHU doesn't charge an application fee for either domestic or international students. So, you're able to apply without worrying about that extra expense.
However, just be aware that there could still be other costs involved in the application process, such as fees for sending official transcripts or scores from standardized tests, if required. As an international student, if your transcripts are not in English, you might also need to pay for an approved translation service.
Additionally, keep this in mind: while SNHU does not charge an application fee, applying to multiple colleges often means encountering some that do. If you find application fees to be a barrier at other institutions, it's often worth reaching out to the admissions offices of those colleges. Some colleges offer waivers based on financial need, and others might waive the fee if you attend an open house or other event. Be proactive in asking about these opportunities!
