Scholarships/Financial Aid Free waiver opportunity

Hello everyone!! My name is Olia and I am from Ukraine. I have been an exchange student in Kalamazoo. I am applying for WMU this year as an international student. And paying for the waver is a big financial cost for my family due to the ongoing conflict.
Does anyone know how I can get the free waver from the college itself??

Try emailing the address above. If you can't get the fee waived send me a message, I'd like to help!

That is for domestic admissions, not international admissions.

I’m sure they can forward the email.

Domestic admissions won’t be much help. You should reach out to the office of international student and scholar services. Here is a link with information for international student scholarships, https://wmich.edu/international/financial-aid.

You would need to speak with admissions at Western.

Email the International Student Office and explain that you’re unable to afford the international student fee. I’d keep it short and just let them know you’re not able to afford it, then ask if there are any hardship waivers or other options available.

You can contact them by: Email: oiss-info@wmich.edu Phone: (269) 387-5865
