Are there fee waivers for UC applications?
Are there fee waivers for UC applications?
Yes, if you enter your family size and income in the “About you” section of the UC app, you will see if you’ve qualified for an application fee waiver when you select your campuses in the "Campuses & majors" section (a message will appear on that page with real-time feedback about how many campuses you can apply to for free). UC will waive application fees for up to 4 campuses for qualified students.

Keep in mind
All questions are equal: All are given equal consideration in the application review process, which means there is no advantage or disadvantage to choosing certain questions over others.
There is no right or wrong way to answer these questions: It’s about getting to know your personality, background, interests and achievements in your own unique voice.
