Does Boston College offer transfer application fee waivers?

I'm considering applying as a transfer student to Boston College, but my budget is tight. Does anyone know if Boston College offers fee waivers for transfer applications and how to apply for one if they do?

Yes, Boston College does offer application fee waivers for transfer students. Applicants can indicate on the Common Application that they'd like to request a fee waiver and would need to meet the eligibility guidelines set forth by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC).

These guidelines typically include eligibility for programs like the Federal Free or Reduced Price Lunch program, being enrolled in or eligible to participate in the Federal TRIO program, or if the applicant's family income falls within the income Eligibility Guidelines set by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

You'll also need to have your college guidance counselor or another school official complete a statement verifying your eligibility for a fee waiver. Once you've initiated the request on the Common App and provided the necessary documents, Boston College will consider your request. But remember to plan ahead, as the process can take a bit of time.
