Application Fee Waiver

Villanova is committed to supporting eligible applicants when the application fee may pose a barrier. We encourage eligible applicants to first consider securing a fee waiver through ACT, the College Board (SAT), or NACAC since these waivers can be used at other institutions. This application fee waiver form will be used to review eligibility for an application fee waiver. Submission of any of these forms will not impact the admission decision for domestic students.

Fee waivers are considered for students who are applying for need-based financial assistance and meet certain financial thresholds. Please visit our Office of Financial Assistance website for more information.

Villanova University is need-aware when considering international applicants. This means that application fee waivers are rarely granted.

Please note that Villanova University is need-aware for admission review of international applicants. It is expected that international students who are applying for need-based aid be able to contribute toward their educational expenses during their four years at Villanova. If your family is not able to contribute a minimum, your request may be denied.

Please select the amount your family will be able to contribute to your educational expenses in your first year (as noted on the Certificate of Finances form):*

I expect to be able to contribute less than $15,000 USD in the first year.

I expect to be able to contribute more than $16,000 USD in the first year.

Due to being need-aware for international students, we are unable to consider your request for an application fee waiver. If you would still like to proceed with admission consideration, please go back to your Common Application to submit your application fee ($80). Without payment of the application fee, or approval of a fee waiver, your application will be incomplete and will not be reviewed for admission.

Have you or will you submit a fee waiver via ACT, the College Board or NACAC? *

Yes

No

Since you will be submitting a waiver from ACT, the College Board (SAT) or NACAC you do not need to complete the Villanova Waiver. Once you submit the appropriate waiver, the checklist in your Applicant Status Page will be updated indicating the application fee has been waived. Please remember to submit the required paperwork for financial assistance consideration in a timely manner.

Thank you for your interest and application to Villanova University.
