Harvard College Admissions Application Fee Waiver Request

Do not let the admissions application fee prevent you from applying! In the spirit of our honor code, if the admissions application fee presents a hardship for you or your family, the fee will be waived.

Before you fill out this form, please review the indicators of economic need on the Common Application and the Coalition Application. If you meet these criteria, you can request a fee waiver through the application. If you do not meet any of those indicators and would still like to request a fee waiver, please fill out this form.
