The College of Engineering and Applied Science at CU Boulder is once again offering a program that allows qualifying PhD applicants to waive their application fees until Nov. 15, 2023.
The program is intended to support our college's strategic vision to become a premier destination for U.S. graduate students.
The minimum requirements are:
The offer will be applied automatically to qualifying students in the application portal; no code is needed. Questions may be directed to Meredith Canode, senior director of graduate programs, at meredith.canode@colorado.edu.
Please note: While the application fee waiver should be automatically applied, please allow 24-48 hours processing time. After submitting your application, you should ignore the payment window and check back at a later time to gain access to your status page and verify that the waiver has been successfully applied. If you continue to have issues accessing the status page after 24-48 hours, please reach out to gradadm@colorado.edu for assistance.
Additional Graduate School Waivers
In addition, the Graduate School offers application fee waivers for participants in the following programs.
If you are affiliated with one of these programs, you will be able to indicate your involvement within the online application under ‘Additional Information.’ We ask that you describe your involvement with the program, and upload supporting documentation there.
If you are in the U.S. military you will receive an automatic fee waiver as a thank you for your service (active duty, veteran, previously served, and active reserve are all eligible for this automatic fee waiver).
If you are undocumented and/or a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) beneficiary, please contact gradadm@colorado.edu to inquire about possible fee waivers.
