If you are not financially able to pay for your college application fee, fee waivers are available. Typically, these are accessed through your high school college counseling office or through college access programs like QuestBridge. Additionally, some colleges may offer a code to skip the application fee as an incentive for you to apply, usually because they are trying to boost their applicant numbers as well as encourage stronger students to consider them. These free fee waiver codes typically are promoted through virtual events, special campus tours, or outreach emails.
