Hello! I'm considering applying to UPenn but I'm a bit tight on budget. Does anyone know how much their application fee is? Is there any way to get a fee waiver? Appreciate the help!
The application fee for the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) is $75. Regarding your question about getting a fee waiver, yes, there are a few ways to obtain one. College Board offers SAT fee waivers which can also be used for college application fees, including UPenn. If you're eligible for these waivers, you should have received them from a counselor or a representative of an authorized community-based organization.Another option is to use the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) Request for Admission Application Fee Waiver form which you can fill out with your counselor.Lastly, you may also be eligible for a fee waiver directly from UPenn if you participate in specific programs, such as a College Horizons program for Native American students or QuestBridge, a program for low-income students. Make sure to discuss these options with your school counselor — they'll be able to give you the most accurate information on the forms and the procedures to follow based on your specific circumstances. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your applications!
