Your $30 application fee can be waived on the basis of financial hardship. The processes for requesting a waiver vary based upon which application you submit.


For Common App users:

You can find the Common App Fee Waiver in the Profile section of the Common App tab. To apply for this waiver:

  1. Answer YES to the fee waiver statement
  2. Enter your signature to certify your request

NOTE: Your school counselor will be asked to confirm that you are eligible for this waiver. You will still be able to submit your application without a waiver while your counselor confirms. Once the fee waiver is approved by your counselor, it will be sent to UCF and your application will be processed.


For UCF Institutional Application users:

To request an application fee waiver, you must upload one of the following forms of documentation within your application at the time of submission.

  • An SAT, ACT, SCOIR or NACAC fee waiver form from your high school guidance or college counseling office;
  • Documentation from your high school showing your eligibility for a free or reduced lunch;
  • A copy of your family’s most recent tax return

NOTE: If a Social Security Number (SSN) appears on the waiver request, please black out all but the last four digits for security purposes.
