Good news for international students! Many U.S. universities are currently offering application fee waivers for the 2025–2026 intake. Below is a list of schools with codes, conditions, and direct links to help you apply easily and save money on your applications.

✅ Why Application Fee Waivers Matter

Most U.S. universities charge application fees (often US $40–$100) per application. Bestcolleges.com+1
If you apply to many schools, these fees add up, sometimes costing several hundred dollars.
A waiver means you can submit your application without paying that fee (or reduce it).
Some waivers require doing certain actions—like attending a virtual open house, webinar, or meeting eligibility criteria.
Especially helpful for international or low-income students who might struggle with many application fees.
