General Fee Waivers
...
Only those with graduate coordinator level access in Slate will be able to process a department-supported fee waiver for an applicant in Slate.
In order to apply a department-supported fee waiver, the applicant will need to have submitted their application, but cannot have already paid the application fee. The application must be in the “Awaiting Payment” bin in order to proceed with a department-supported fee waiver. The form to apply this fee waiver will not be available to you if the applicant is not in this bin. Please be sure to provide these clear instructions to applicants you wish to provide a department-supported application fee waiver for. GEPA will not refund application fees to applicants who do not follow these instructions or who have already paid their application fee. No exceptions.
It is at the discretion of the department on whether they wish to advertise the opportunity to request a department-supported fee waiver from your department to prospective applicants. GEPA does not share information about department-supported fee waiver options for prospective applicants on the GEPA admissions website. If your department wishes to provide this information on your website you may do so, though it is not required. If you do share this information publicly, we ask that prospective applicants are clearly instructed to reach out directly to your department with their request for a department supported fee waiver, and not to GEPA. GEPA will not be processing these requests. We also ask that you share that applicants who have already paid their application fee are not eligible for a department supported application fee waiver, as noted above. There are no exceptions to this policy.
