Pay the Application Fee

After you submit your application, you will be requested to pay the nonrefundable application fee. We recommend you pay online by credit card or e-Check using our secure, encrypted website.

MAKING A PAYMENT LATER

You can pay the application fee at a later date by logging in as a returning applicant. Click on the Pay link under Application Fee for your program. However, your application will not be reviewed until we have processed your fee payment.

EXPRESS MAIL FEE

If you are living abroad, you can pay an additional $40 to have us express mail your decision notification by logging in as a returning applicant and clicking on the Pay link under Express Mail Fee for the program you are applying to.

SCHOLARS

If you are a McNair, Project 1000, GEM, or other scholar, you may be eligible for an application fee waiver. Enter your scholar program name in the box under the field labeled Academic Honors Awards or Publications in the Aid section of the application to confirm your scholar status.

FEE WAIVERS

We normally do not waive fees, but we may defer a fee under extraordinary circumstances. You can request a fee deferral by mailing us a statement of need and supporting evidence of need, such as tax returns or a letter from a financial aid officer from your school.

Applying to More Than One Program

After you have submitted an application, you may apply to another program by logging in as a returning applicant. Use the login ID and PIN you originally created in order to avoid generating multiple accounts and RUID's.

You will need to pay a separate fee and provide supporting credentials for each program you are applying to. If you have sealed recommendations or other paper credentials that you cannot submit electronically, you may send them in one envelope, but clearly mark each set of credentials with the program name.
