Application Fee Waiver for Early Action and Regular Admission

The Admissions Office accepts fee waiver requests submitted from guidance counselors using the official NACAC Application Fee Waiver form. Guidance counselors may also submit a written letter, indicating that the fee would present a financial hardship for the student (in lieu of the official NACAC form) on behalf of the student requesting a fee waiver. Students requesting a fee waiver may apply online or by mail and all fee waiver request forms must be mailed to:

Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I request a fee waiver?

    Applicants may submit a fee waiver request in one of two ways:

    I. Applicants may complete the Personal Data form (Part I of the application) online and mail in the Fee Waiver request separately.

    II. Applicants may print out the Personal Data form (Part I of the application) and mail it together with the NACAC Application Fee Waiver form or a fee waiver request letter.

    If you submit Part I of the application with your fee waiver request by mail, you will have the option to complete Part II of the application online. You will be prompted to enter your Georgetown University ID number on the first page of the Part II, but you may simply type “Fee Waiver” in that space if you have not received your Georgetown ID number at that point. Students who submit Part I of the application online and request a fee waiver will receive their Georgetown ID number at the time of their online submission.

    Does the fee waiver form have to be completed by a guidance counselor?

    You are welcome to submit the College Board or the NACAC fee waiver forms, which should be completed by your guidance counselor. In lieu of the official forms, your counselor may write a brief fee waiver request letter explaining that the application fee would present a hardship to you and your family.

    Can International applicants request a fee waiver?

    Definitely. International students should follow the same process detailed above.

    Can transfer students request a fee waiver?

    Transfer students may also submit fee waiver requests. They should request that their academic counselor or advisor at their current institution write a statement explaining that the fee would pose an economic hardship, and submit this letter with Part I of the application.

    What should I do if my school sends out the fee waiver request with the rest of my application materials?

    It is best if your fee waiver letter is submitted with your personal data form. If that is not possible, please submit your Part I through the mail instead of online as requested above and simply attach a note indicating that your guidance counselor will submit the fee waiver request.

    If I am submitting a fee waiver request, when should I send in my application to Georgetown?

    The application deadline is the same for all applicants, irrespective of whether they are requesting a fee waiver; however, we encourage all applicants to submit Part I of their application as soon as they decide to apply because it allows us to open your admissions file and initiate the alumni interview assignment process.
