UNLV Application Fee Waiver

Has anyone had success with getting an application fee waiver for UNLV? I'm a high school junior, and college application fees can add up. If you've received a waiver, how did you go about requesting it? Thanks for the help!

You're right, college application fees can definitely add up, so it's smart to be thinking about fee waivers. UNLV accepts application fee waivers for eligible students based on specific criteria, such as financial need or participation in programs like TRIO.

The first thing you should do is talk to your high school counselor. They often have information about fee waivers and will be able to guide you through the process of requesting one. Your counselor will need to verify your eligibility and provide you with an official fee waiver form, such as the NACAC (National Association for College Admission Counseling) or College Board fee waiver request form. Be prepared to provide documentation with regard to your financial situation or any other factors that might qualify you for a fee waiver.

Once you have the fee waiver form, complete it with the necessary information. When you apply to UNLV online, you'll find a section in the application where you can indicate that you're submitting a fee waiver. After submitting your application, you'll need to send your completed fee waiver form and any supporting documentation to the Office of Admissions at UNLV.

Remember, it's better to request fee waivers early since the process may take some time. Also, keep in mind that fee waiver approvals are at the discretion of the institution, so it's not guaranteed. Good luck with your fee waiver request and college applications!
