Can my admissions fee be waived?

 The School of Graduate Studies automatically reviews applications and waives admissions fees for certain applicants, including current Rutgers students and alumni,  active U.S. military and military veterans who plan to apply for educational benefits under the GI Bill, and participants in various scholar programs. There is further information  in the ``Application Guidelines and Fee Waiver'' section of https://grad.rutgers.edu/diversity-and-outreach/prospective-graduate-students. SGS also allows fee deferrals.

The department has a small budget that typically allows us to waive fees for a few applicants each year. Normally, all of these funds are used a few months before the application deadline.
