Hello all, I'm about to apply to UC Berkeley soon and I am wondering how much their application fee is. And, is it possible to get a fee waiver?
The application fee for UC Berkeley is $80 for domestic students and $95 for international students. This fee applies to each University of California (UC) institution you apply to, not just Berkeley.
You can certainly apply for a fee waiver if required. The UC Application provides fee waivers for up to four campuses for eligible students. Eligibility is based on household size and income, as per federal guidelines. If you're applying through the Common Application, they also have fee waivers available.
When you fill out the UC application, it will automatically determine your eligibility for a fee waiver based on the information you provide. If you're eligible, it will be applied to the first four campuses you apply to. If you wish to apply to more campuses, you'll have to pay the fee for each additional one. So definitely take advantage of that offer if you're eligible.
Remember to complete the application thoroughly and accurately, and best of luck with your application! If you have any more questions about the application process, don't hesitate to ask.
