Caltech application fee details

Hey there! I'm applying to Caltech this year, and I couldn't find the application fee info on their website. Can someone tell me the cost of applying? Also, are there any waivers available for applicants in need?

Hello! Caltech's application fee for undergraduate admissions is $75. However, if the cost is a concern for you, you may be eligible for a fee waiver. Caltech accepts the following types of fee waivers:

1. Common Application Fee Waiver: If you're using the Common Application, you can request a fee waiver directly through the Common App. Your high school counselor will need to verify your eligibility for the waiver.

2. Coalition Application Fee Waiver: Similarly, if you're applying via the Coalition Application, you can also request a fee waiver, and your high school counselor will need to verify your eligibility.

3. National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) Fee Waiver: NACAC provides a fee waiver form that you can submit to Caltech as well. Your high school counselor should be able to help you through this process.

4. College Board Fee Waiver: If you've received an SAT or ACT fee waiver, you may qualify for a fee waiver for your college applications, including Caltech. Contact your high school counselor for assistance.

If you think you might be eligible for a fee waiver, it's a good idea to discuss your situation with your school counselor, who can help guide you through the process and ensure that you have the required documentation.
