High school students who apply for fall 2026 admission to UCONN* -- or any of Connecticut's public universities (CCSU, ECSU, SCSU and WCSU) -- on November 1, 2025 will have the opportunity to have their admission application fee waived.
Qualifying students include those who have an active mailing address in Connecticut or who are attending a secondary school in Connecticut. Students qualifying for traditional fee waivers may continue to select the appropriate waiver at any time throughout the application cycle.
*New this year, UConn is allowing Connecticut students to have their application fee waived any time from October 15 – November 1, 2025. Students interested in taking advantage of this opportunity should choose the Application Fee Free Day fee waiver option found on the UConn college list as part of the application.
Starting in October, over 122 colleges and universities throughout New York State are waiving their application fees for NYS College Application Month! This means you can apply to multiple colleges without the burden of application fees, making it easier and more affordable for you to pursue your college goals!
