An academic department may choose to pay the application fee for selected applicants. However, the academic department to which you are applying is not able to waive the application fee. Only the Graduate School has that authority.
The Graduate School generally will not waive the application fee, except in cases of documented financial need and special circumstances. If you would like to request a fee waiver, first submit your application. Next, contact Dr. David Shafer, david_shafer@ncsu.edu, for instructions.
Can I get a waiver for my application fee?
