First-year students and transfer applicants for whom payment of the application fee presents a significant financial hardship may request an application fee waiver.
Applications are not processed until the Office of Admissions receives one of the following forms of documentation:
- a signed ACT or SAT fee waiver;
- a signed NACAC fee waiver;
- a letter from a high school or college official on school letterhead confirming that payment of the fee would represent a significant financial hardship to the student and/or family; or
- a letter from a TRIO or Gear Up program official verifying participation in a federal program for low-income students.
Application fee waiver documentation can be uploaded via your Application Status Page or by emailing a PDF to application@missouri.edu.
Fee waivers are only available to students graduating from a high school inside the U.S.
