Hey everyone, I'm planning on applying to UMass Amherst and I just wanted to find out how much their application fee is. Is there a possibility of obtaining a fee waiver if I'm facing financial difficulties?
The application fee for UMass Amherst is $85. If you're facing financial difficulties, you might be eligible for a fee waiver. Fee waivers are available for students with demonstrated financial need, and you can request one through the Common Application or Coalition Application. In the Common App, go to the "Profile" section and click on "Fee Waiver." You'll be asked a series of questions to determine your eligibility. In the Coalition App, navigate to the "Profile" section and click on "Application Fee Waiver" to answer questions about your financial situation.
Additionally, if you've received an SAT/ACT fee waiver or are eligible for free/reduced-price lunch at school, you're likely to qualify for a college application fee waiver. You can also ask your high school counselor for guidance on obtaining a fee waiver if you need further assistance.
