Hi guys! I'm applying to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and was wondering about their application fee. How much is it? Also, does anyone know if they offer application fee waivers, and if so, what are the criteria for eligibility? Any help would be appreciated!
Hi there! The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) currently has an application fee of $35 for domestic applicants and $40 for international applicants. And they do offer application fee waivers for eligible applicants! To qualify for a waiver, you usually need to demonstrate financial need. Typically, that means meeting one or more of the following criteria:
1. Receiving or being eligible for Free or Reduced-Price Lunch at your high school.
2. Being enrolled in or eligible to participate in a federal, state, or local program designed to aid students from low-income families (such as TRIO programs like Upward Bound).
3. Living in federally subsidized public housing or a foster home, being homeless, or being a ward of the state.
4. Having a family income at or below the USDA Food and Nutrition Service’s Income Eligibility Guidelines.
5. Receiving public assistance (such as TANF, SNAP, or WIC).
Your high school counselor can provide you with a fee waiver form if you meet any of these criteria. You will need to submit this form along with your application to UTC to have the fee waived. If you're unsure about your eligibility, it's best to consult with your high school counselor, who can guide you through the fee waiver process given your personal circumstances.
Good luck with your application to UTC!
