Fee Waiver Information


Some U.S. or permanent resident applicants to the Graduate School may be eligible for a waiver of the application fee on the basis of documented financial need. Applicants must have received a significant amount of need-based aid in order to qualify for an application fee waiver. Applicants who wish to be considered for waivers should send a copy of the waiver granted by the testing service for the GRE or GMAT fee or a copy of their most recent financial aid award indicating the source of funding to the address listed below. If you are unable to obtain any other type of documentation, tax returns for the previous two years may be substituted. Applicants are notified in writing only if the request for a waiver is not granted.

Waivers are not available for the MBA and MPA application fee.

We do not waive the $10 transcript fee for former UT students.

There will be no "fee waiver" option available for you to select on the fee payment screen of the online application. Instead, you should designate that you will be paying by check or money order and follow the instructions above for submitting your fee waiver documentation.
