I'm considering transferring to Texas A&M College Station but the application fee is a concern. Does anyone know if they offer fee waivers for transfer applicants? If so, what's the process for applying for one?
Indeed, Texas A&M University does offer fee waivers for transfer applicants who demonstrate financial hardship. In order to apply for a fee waiver, here's the process:
1. Begin by completing and submitting your ApplyTexas application. When you reach the payment section, you should select the option to "Waive or Defer Payment."
2. You will then be redirected to a separate page where you can upload your fee waiver request. This request should verify your financial hardship, you could use SAT/ACT waiver, or if you received a fee waiver for the Common Application for your previous school applications.
3. Your request will be processed and, if approved, the application fee will be waived.
Remember to provide a strong case demonstrating your financial need to increase your chances of approval. Texas A&M University understands that financial hardships should not be a barrier to quality education, and therefore has this provision in place. However, they also need to ensure the system isn't taken advantage of, so make sure your documents are in order.
