Hi guys, I'm considering applying to Rutgers University, but I'm a bit unsure about the application fee. Does anyone know how much it is and if there are any fee waivers available? Thanks for any help you can provide!
The application fee for Rutgers University is $70. This fee is non-refundable and is required for most applicants. However, there are fee waivers available for eligible students who might face financial barriers to applying.
To qualify for a fee waiver, you will typically need to demonstrate financial need, such as being eligible for Free or Reduced-Price Lunch (FRPL), receiving public assistance, or facing significant hardship. Some students might also qualify for a fee waiver through College Board (if they used a fee waiver for the SAT) or by meeting specific income eligibility guidelines set by NACAC.
To request a fee waiver for your Rutgers application, you will need to reach out to the Office of Admissions either through their online application system, the Coalition Application, or the Common Application, depending on which platform you choose to apply through. Make sure to check the specific guidelines and instructions on the Rutgers Admissions website, as the process might vary slightly based on the platform you're using to apply.
It's always a good idea to speak to your high school counselor about your eligibility for a fee waiver and ask for their help in securing one. They can provide you with the necessary documentation and guidance on how to proceed with your application in a cost-effective manner. Good luck with your application to Rutgers University!
