Application Fee Waiver

The Graduate School participates in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation’s (CIC) FreeApp program, which is designed to enable eligible applicants to apply to Northwestern and other CIC member schools without paying an application fee.

The number of waivers issued each year is limited, and all waivers are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. The priority deadline for waiver applications is November 15th. For more information regarding the CIC process and to apply for a waiver, please visit the CIC FreeApp Web page. If you have any questions, please contact Mario Craigen, coordinator of Multicultural Affairs.
