Those using the on-line interactive application have to pay online. In cases of extreme financial need, the Graduate School will consider a request for a fee waiver. Requesting a fee waiver does not influence the acceptance or denial of an application. There are no fee waivers if you are using the interactive application. To be considered for a waiver, you must use the paper or downloadable application form.
All applicants are eligible to be considered for merit-based aid.
All awards are made by the field. If it is against an institution's policy to provide transcripts directly to students for inclusion in the application packet, transcripts can be mailed directly to the Graduate School at the above address. This address must be used because courier services cannot deliver to a P.O. box. Materials cannot be sent by e-mail or fax. Portfolios and writing samples not accompanied by such an envelope will not be returned.
