Which colleges have free online applications?

Hello, I'm currently on the hunt for colleges to apply to, but application fees can be pretty expensive. Are there any colleges out there that offer free online applications? Let me know and thanks in advance!

There are a number of colleges that offer free online applications. Here is a list of some colleges and universities with no application fees (for their main admissions process - special programs, like the conservatory at Oberlin, may indeed have application fees):

1. United States Military Academy (West Point)

2. United States Air Force Academy

3. United States Naval Academy (Annapolis)

4. United States Coast Guard Academy

Keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list, and there are other colleges with no application fees as well. Additionally, some colleges may waive their fees for certain application types (e.g., Early Decision, Early Action) or for students applying via the Common Application or Coalition Application.

If you're struggling with financial constraints, it's also worth checking if you qualify for application fee waivers from individual schools or through programs like the College Board or the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) fee waiver programs.
