Freshman Application Fee Waiver Request

For freshman applicants with confirmed financial hardship, the University of Washington Tacoma will provide a waiver of the $50 online application fee.

At least 3-5 days before you plan to click the "Submit" button on the online application, submit your fee waiver request and receive a response by e-mail within a few business days. If your request is approved, the reply e-mail will include a waiver code. This code is for your use only and it can be used for only one submission of a freshman application for admission to the University of Washington Tacoma. Save the e-mail you receive to make sure your code is entered exactly as provided to you, or it will not work. Should you decide later not to apply, this code cannot be transferred to another student or to another quarter.

Before completing the form below, please make sure you have already created your login and begun to work on the online application. The login will be entered in the form below, along with a few other key pieces of information necessary to match the fee waiver request to your application file. It is imperative that you provide an e-mail address that you check regularly, and it should match the e-mail address you enter on the application itself.

Receiving a fee waiver will not have any bearing whatsoever on your application for admission, nor will the information provided below be released to anyone for any purpose.

Note: items marked with an asterisk (*) are required.
