Application Fee and Waiver

Answer: 

The current application fees are:

  • $65 domestic applicants
  • $75 international applicants

Please note that the application cannot be submitted without payment of this fee.

There is no charge for one update from one program to another program or one semester to another, if the change is requested in writing prior to an admissions decision.  Thereafter, an application fee will be required.

Students seeking readmission to the same program will need to submit a new application and pay the application fee.  Current students seeking to change programs must submit a new application and pay the application fee.

The Graduate School pays the application fee for domestic students (U.S. Citizen or Legal Permanent Resident) who are participants in the following programs:

          a. National Consortium for Graduate Degrees for Minorities in Engineering and Sciences (GEM)

          b. Ronald E. McNair Scholars

          c. National TRIO Scholars

          d. Bridge to the Doctorate

          e. The Kentucky - West Virginia Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (KY-WV LSAMP)

In addition, the Graduate School pays the application fee for applicants who are U.S. military veterans.

In all cases, the student must have started the application for the program.
