Getting a Waiver for Graduate School Application Fees

AI Thread Summary
Graduate school applicants can potentially have their application fees waived, often based on financial need. To obtain a fee waiver, applicants should directly contact the graduate studies department of the institution they are applying to and inquire about the process. It's important to communicate any financial hardships clearly, as some schools may have specific criteria or forms to complete. Additionally, some applicants may qualify for automatic waivers if they receive financial aid. Overall, reaching out to the department is a proactive step to explore available options for fee waivers.
