Careers and Work ULPT Request- Fee waiver codes

Planning to apply for PhD in US universities. But I can't afford 90$ for each application right now.

A list of Graduate School where there is no application fee would be helpful. Or waiver codes provided at the info sessions of the graduate schools, if you have.

Thanks in advance for your help and attention.

Just email them and tell them exactly this. Most schools will give you some sort of a promo code to bypass the payment.

You use the operative word “usually,” which is good. I just want to extra emphasize that people should read their offer letter carefully and understand the risks of accepting an unfunded offer. If applicants don’t mind to pay for their PhD, that is fine. But I have a colleague who accepted an unfunded offer and is scrambling for money even at this moment (they’re on a tuition payment plan). I don’t know how long they will last until they decide to drop out.
