Fee waivers from academic departments
Academic departments may periodically offer to pay the application fee dependent upon students’ academic eligibility, enrollment needs of the department and other extraordinary situations. Review your department’s webpage for any fee waiver eligibility information. If you still have questions, or if this information is not available, we recommend you reach out to your academic department. Prior to any possible departmental consideration, applicants should begin their application and submit minimally their transcripts, personal statement and resume well in advance of the program’s deadline. After uploading those documents, inform your academic department.
Note: A request for an application fee waiver may take 2 to 3 business days to process. Please wait for an email stating that your request has been approved before submitting your application. If you have any questions about this process, contact gradadmission@binghamton.edu.
