I'm thinking about applying to Kent State University, but I'm not sure about the international application fee. Can anyone tell me how much it costs, and what other fees I might encounter in the process?
Kent State University charges a non-refundable application fee of $70 for international undergraduate students. This fee is used to cover the costs associated with processing your application.
Beyond the application fee, you should also factor in expenses such as the costs of standardized tests (the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE for English language proficiency), transcript evaluations, and shipping costs for sending physical documents.
Once admitted, you might also be expected to pay a tuition deposit, which secures your spot in the incoming class. This amount is typically deducted from your first semester tuition. Additionally, keep in mind you will need to budget for visa application fees and SEVIS fee (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System), which are necessary costs for obtaining your student visa. Lastly, remember that all these are separate from tuition, housing, meal plans, and other living costs that you'll need to budget for.
I encourage you to reach out to Kent State's Office of Global Education for more precise figures and further clarification.
