Free Applications, Endless Opportunities! 🌍🎓 Discover Canadian Universities Offering 100% Fee Waivers

[philologique]

a little us-american specific PSA that if you're applying to grad/professional school (and possibly undergrad, idk) you can always email them to see if you can get a fee waiver.

like if you had a pell grant or receive any sort of public benefits, say that, or if you're above their median test score/gpa you can throw that in.*

the worst they can do is say no. they will not hold it against you or even remember you for asking. schools want more people to apply to their programs so a lot of the time they'll give you an institutional fee waiver regardless

*this also applies to applications where there is an official fee waiver process. the lsac has an official need-based fee waiver that i wasn't eligible for even though i had zero savings and was making $11.25 an hour, but i cold-emailed like 20 law schools and got fee waivers for i think all but 4 of them. law school is a questionable financial choice in a lot of ways and the actual application process doesn't totally need to be one of those ways

UCAS Application Fee Waivers: Who Qualifies in 2025?

Applying to universities in the UK is an exciting yet overwhelming process. For students facing financial challenges, the UCAS application fee 2025 might feel like an additional burden. However, there are ways to ease this expense. UCAS and other organizations provide fee waivers and financial support for eligible students, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder academic aspirations.

Wondering how to make your application process affordable? Check out this comprehensive guide: UCAS application fee 2025.

Understanding the UCAS Application Fee for 2025

Before diving into fee waivers, here’s a quick recap of the standard UCAS application fees:

Single Choice Application: £27.50

Multiple Choice Application (up to 5 courses): £37.50

While these fees are relatively modest compared to other costs, such as visa applications or travel, they can still pose a challenge for some students. Thankfully, UCAS fee waivers exist to help!

Who Qualifies for a UCAS Application Fee Waiver in 2025?

Fee waivers are available to ensure equitable access to higher education for students from underprivileged backgrounds. Here are the eligibility criteria for UCAS fee waivers in 2025:

1. Students Receiving Financial Assistance

If you or your family already receive government financial support, you may qualify for a fee waiver. Examples include:

Universal Credit or Income Support

Free School Meals (FSM) eligibility

Housing Benefit or Council Tax Reduction

2. Students in Care or Care Leavers

UCAS often waives the application fee for students who are:

Currently in foster care

Care leavers under 25 years old

3. Low-Income Households

Students from households with a total income below a certain threshold (e.g., £25,000 annually) may also qualify. Be prepared to provide supporting documents such as tax returns or income statements.

4. International Students from Developing Countries

For students from developing or low-income countries, some UK universities may sponsor the application fee. You’ll need to reach out to specific institutions for details.

5. Disability or Special Needs Students

If you have a disability and face financial hardship, additional support may be available. UCAS or related organizations might extend waivers based on your circumstances.

How to Apply for a Fee Waiver

Here’s a step-by-step guide to applying for a UCAS fee waiver:

Contact Your School or College Most fee waivers are facilitated through your school or college. Speak to your school counselor or career advisor to verify your eligibility and initiate the process.

Reach Out to UCAS Directly If you’re applying independently, you can contact UCAS customer service to inquire about fee waivers. Be ready to provide relevant documentation supporting your financial situation.

Explore University-Specific Waivers Some universities offer to reimburse the UCAS fee for students who meet their specific eligibility requirements. Contact the admissions office of the universities you’re applying to and inquire about financial assistance.

Seek Help from Charitable Organizations Charities like the Sutton Trust and the Scholarship Hub often assist students with limited resources. They can guide you on obtaining fee waivers or other funding opportunities.

Financial Support Beyond Fee Waivers

In addition to waiving the UCAS application fee, students can access other forms of financial support:

Scholarships and Grants

Most UK universities offer scholarships for international and domestic students. These can significantly reduce your overall financial burden.

Student Loans

For domestic students, applying for government-funded student loans can help cover tuition fees and living expenses.

Crowdfunding Platforms

Many students successfully raise funds for their education through crowdfunding platforms. Sharing your story on platforms like GoFundMe can bring in additional support.

Tips for Students Applying for Fee Waivers

Start Early Fee waivers can take time to process. Begin your application process well before the UCAS deadline to avoid delays.

Keep Documents Ready Gather necessary documents, such as proof of financial hardship, to streamline your waiver application.

Be Proactive Reach out to your school, universities, or charitable organizations early to understand all your options.

Leverage Resources Utilize UCAS resources like their help center, forums, and guides to clarify your doubts about fee waivers and applications.

Conclusion: Don’t Let Finances Hold You Back

The UCAS application fee 2025 is a gateway to exciting opportunities, but it doesn’t have to be a barrier for students facing financial difficulties. Fee waivers, financial aid, and additional support systems are designed to ensure that everyone has a fair chance to pursue higher education in the UK.

US visa application Kenya

Kenyan citizens applying for a US visa must complete the online DS-160 form and schedule an interview at the US Embassy in Nairobi. The process involves paying the application fee, providing supporting documents such as passport, photograph, and evidence of ties to Kenya, and attending the visa interview. Applicants may need to demonstrate strong ties to their home country and intent to return after their US visit. Processing times can vary, so early application is recommended, especially for time-sensitive travel. More info: https://toppicksreviews.com

Having a little bit of a grad school-related freak-out, as you do, that is probably not helped by current events because now it seems all the more imperative that I have a solid plan for what I'm doing after I graduate, but also would likely have happened regardless because I'm behind on my applications and terrified I'm not going to get in anywhere.

Like. I'm planning on applying to... maybe a few more schools than is advisable, assuming I can get fee waivers at at least some of them (because otherwise I can't afford it), although I did have at least one professor whose opinion I feel like I can trust suggest it's not a terrible idea. But I'm just so scared. I genuinely don't know what I'm going to do with myself if I don't get in somewhere, especially since I'm the only one in our household who can do anything that makes money, and everything depends on me having something lined up after graduation, which is... rapidly approaching.

I know that technically this isn't my last shot, and if I really do fail to get in anywhere this first time, I'm going to give it at least one more try. My GPA will be better then, and maybe I'll have something published, and all that could probably help. But everything is so terrifying and uncertain right now, and I really don't want to have to do two rounds of graduate applications, and also if I fail to secure anything this first time, I'm going to be even more scared about the second one.

I don't know. Some of you have offered to look over my materials (and I'll probably take you up on that), or offered other helpful tips, and I'm going to give it my best shot. But I've been crying about this today and having to finish up my applications post-election really is something of a hell of my own making, and I am not feeling great about any of this right now.

Hi I saw your post earlier today and wanted to send an offer of a virtual hug if you’d like… things sound really tough for you right now but please know I’m rooting for you. 

And I know this is totally, completely out the blue but I’ve been one of your followers on here for a while, I am currently doing a PhD if you ever want someone to ask advice from. No one in my family had done a PhD before me and I remember that it was a super opaque application process that I was lucky to have a friend & mentor guide me through. I think the work you want to do re: disaster media, storytelling, and emergency management is hugely important, especially as climate change worsens disasters, and I know I’ve just kind of been rooting for you from afar but I really am genuinely rooting for you and this work that you want to do.

To offer some unsolicited advice (sorry if this is overstepping and please ignore this if you’d rather be in the “vent feelings” than “find solutions” stage rn because I 10000% get that vibe, I just can’t tell which you’d prefer just from online) - do you have specific faculty mentors who you might want to work with for your PhD in mind? Sometimes they have access to financial resources like application fee waivers that their university doesn’t publicize. In my experience the best way to get admitted to a PhD program regardless of application fees is to reach out a specific professor, talk with them, and get them to want to admit you as their student. A professor who wants to work with you badly enough sometimes has the power to cut through a lot of red tape and often also point you to lots of extra resources (my university for example offers up to $5000 in “emergency” aid to students that in your case I could see them easily approving for transportation costs or top surgery costs or both). 

Regardless of any of the above I’m sending best wishes your way, please know there’s people rooting for you out here ❤️

Hi! Thank you for the lovely ask. 🥰

I'm actually pretty good on the application process. I got all the way through it last year until they canceled applications at the last minute for my main choice program. 😭

No clue what will happen now with so many programs under funding cut threats thanks to the trumpet. But I found a neat looking program in Canada too, soooooo...mayhaps? I'll decide this summer when things have hopefully settled a little and applications open up again.

I do have a specific faculty member at my main choice program, and I've already emailed with her a bit! Never had someone respond to an email so fast, actually. She's awesome.

One way or another, I won't be giving up on my disaster work. This summer will just be the determining factor on which direction I go with it.

ok excuse me putting on my emotional educator voice here

there is an effort nationwide to return higher education to its original status as an exclusive club for wealthy white kids. refusing to reduce student loan debt is a way to create access only for those who can afford it. cracking down on freedom of speech and DEI programs on college campuses is intended to silence marginalized voices. there's also a strong media campaign to tell young people that college isn't worth it, despite all of the statistics indicating that people with college degrees are doing better than those without.

i work here, and i am party to the conversations happening amongst administrators that students don't get to hear. there are a lot of complaints about how much students "have changed" (read: become poorer and browner than generations past), there's even more disdainful talk behind closed doors about how ungrateful, needy, and ignorant today's kids are (read: poorer and browner, again).

they know that unless they close the doors on higher education, it will continue to serve as one of the ONLY accessible pathways to upward economic and social mobility for marginalized groups. with upward mobility, these groups become more powerful.

DO NOT let them convince you that an education is worthless. that it's a waste of time and money.

once you have it, knowledge is one of the only things they can't take from you. once you have it, it's one of the few barriers they can't deny you. knowledge is power.

and there are more resources than ever to get you through college - hybrid coursework, scholarships, fee waivers, on-campus food banks, etc. It's especially worthwhile to look into community colleges in your area if time and money are very tight. some schools will even pay to support low-income students, though the admissions requirements can be pretty steep. (and there are definitely resources that will pay for your application cost!)

that's not to say it will be easy! but if you can go to school, you might have to fight tooth and nail for it, just like our relatives did at the start of desegregation. but it's worth that fight. you've GOT to get an education, maybe now more than ever.

How do you sign up to become a student at this school?

Simple! All you gotta do is go to our website, fill out our online application during open application season (it's open a few times a year for different seasons, so keep your peepers open!), pay the application fee (or email us for a fee waiver, we are happy to let those rain 🌧️💸), get a recommendation from someone in your intended field (whether that's battle studies, the sciences, a specific area of general studies or humanities, etc... ask us for the deets), conduct a virtual Varoom interview, wait a few weeks for our application committee to do their thing (it's rolling admissions, so the earlier you "roll up" the better), and then, voila! See? Incredibly simple and not at all complicated.

Digital Commissions are open! Help with Graduate application costs! 6 Slots!

I'm opening commissions briefly again to raise money to apply to graduate school by mid-January. The deadline for most programs is Jan 15th. There is no fee waiver for cal state apps for grad students, so each app is $70, plus some schools want an additional $25 such as SFSU.

The total amount I'm trying to raise is $300

6 Slots are available at $50 each. DM me if you want a slot, first come first serve.
