I'm considering applying to Case Western Reserve University and was wondering about their application fee. Does the university provide fee waivers? If so, under what circumstances? I'd be really grateful if someone could guide me on this.
Yes, Case Western Reserve University does have an application fee, and it also provides fee waivers for students who may face financial hardships that could make the fee a barrier to their application.
Case Western recognizes several types of application fee waivers:
1. College Board Fee Waiver - If you received a fee waiver for the SAT, you are also eligible for college application fee waivers. Case Western Reserve would honor this.
2. NACAC Fee Waiver - The National Association for College Admissions Counseling (NACAC) also provides application fee waivers that Case Western Reserve will accept. This can often be obtained through your school counselor if you demonstrate financial need.
3. CWRU Fee Waiver - Case Western Reserve University also has its own fee waiver. This is typically given out during certain recruitment events, so it might be worth checking out their website for any upcoming events you could take part in.
4. CBO/Community Based Organization fee waivers - If you're part of a Community Based Organization, they might have fee waivers available, which Case Western Reserve honors. If any of these apply to you, when you finish your application, select that you will be using a fee waiver and follow the prompt for submission of your fee waiver form. Should you still have queries, I'd recommend reaching out to the Admissions Office for more detailed guidance.
Remember, the goal of the fee waiver is to ensure that the application process is accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Best of luck with your application!
