Application Fee Waiver

 

Towson University accepts the following graduate application fee waivers. Please select the appropriate fee waiver option that you qualify for on the payment page of the application. Non-degree applicants are not eligible for application fee waivers.

  • Towson Student Waiver
    An applicant to a graduate program must request this waiver based on the fact that they graduated from ΌͺΟιΒ齫 with a bachelor's or master's degree, are currently enrolled in a ΌͺΟιΒ齫 graduate program, or are currently enrolled as a ΌͺΟιΒ齫 senior. The degree is verified by admissions staff and the waiver granted. The waiver is always granted for eligible students.
  • Recent Applicant Waiver
    If you have already paid a ΌͺΟιΒ齫 graduate application fee within the past academic year, you are eligible for a waiver of this fee. Your request for a waiver will be checked against our records and automatically granted if applicable.
  • U.S. Military Service Waiver
    Applicant must request a waiver based on active duty status with current orders or with an honorable discharge from U.S. military duty and a copy of their DD214 to verify. These forms can be faxed or mailed to Towson University.
  • Special Program Waiver
    This is a fee waiver specifically given by the Admissions Office. Prior approval is required, and requests will be denied if not authorized.
  • McNair Scholars
    This graduate TRIO program, funded by the U.S. Department of Education, offers McNair Scholars an application fee waiver form. Applicants must to Graduate Admissions to complete the waiver documentation.

For all requests to waive the $50 application fee, the student must indicate their eligibility for the waiver by clicking on the appropriate checkbox at the time of application. All documented waiver requests are granted. If an applicant does not provide documentation, the ΌͺΟιΒ齫 application is held but will not be processed for review. Upon receipt of either the documentation or the application fee payment, the application process will begin and the application process will move toward the evaluation stage.

A request to waive the application fee will remain open until the deadline for application submission. Students not eligible for the requested waiver will need to submit payment before Graduate Admissions can complete the processing of the application. If documentation has not been received by the application deadline, Graduate Admissions may close the application. Fee waivers cannot be used to obtain a refund after an admission decision has been made.
