I'm interested in applying to Yale University, but I'm an international student and the application fee is a bit steep. Does anyone know if fee waivers are available for international applicants and how I might qualify for one?
Yes, Yale University does offer application fee waivers for international students. You can apply for this waiver directly via the Common Application or Coalition Application, as both platforms provide a designated space for this request.
The key criteria for eligibility relate to financial hardship – the inability to pay the application fee without undue financial burden. Please note that the application fee waiver request is subject to approval by Yale admissions. Ensure you provide all the necessary information to support your request. It's also advisable to begin this process well ahead of any impending application deadlines to avoid any delays impacting your application submission.
Remember, each college maintains their own policy and approach towards fee waivers, so I'd recommend reaching out to the admissions office at Yale to get the most accurate information and guidance on their process.
