Request a SCAD Application Fee Waiver in a Few Simple Steps

Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) is a private college that offers fine art degrees. The college has locations in Savannah and Atlanta, Georgia, but also in Lacoste, France.

SCAD college fee is 29% more expensive than an average private four-year college tuition. Its application fee isn’t exactly on the cheap side either. If you’re planning to apply to multiple colleges, application fees might cause serious damage to your finances. The amount you’ll end up paying for your applications can go up to several hundred dollars.

Don’t worry if you can’t manage all your college application fees—DoNotPay can help you avoid unnecessary expenses by applying for an application fee waiver in a few clicks.

How Much Is the SCAD Application Fee?

Every student who applies to Savannah College of Art and Design has to pay a non-refundable application fee of $60.

Many students find the application fee too high, which discourages them from applying. You can try to get an application fee waiver and ease the financial burden.

How To Get a SCAD Application Fee Waiver on Your Own

SCAD isn’t clear about fee waivers. There’s a vague statement on Tumblr about fee waivers that are only available for alumni of SCAD.

Since you can apply for SCAD via the Common App, you should be able to get a fee waiver using this method.

There’s also a general rule that students who have the SAT or ACT fee waiver should automatically get an application fee waiver, but SCAD isn’t clear on this point either.

How To Obtain a Fee Waiver via the Common App

Follow the steps below to apply for a SCAD application fee waiver via the Common App:

1. Open the Common App
2. Log in to your account
3. Tap on Submission & Fees
4. Click on Common App Fee Waiver
5. Fill out the fee waiver request form
6. Submit the form

Getting a fee waiver Using SAT or ACT Fee Waivers

You can contact the Admissions Office for more information about getting a fee waiver if you already acquired the SAT or ACT fee waiver.

You may contact SCAD Admissions Office in two ways:

• Over the phone
• Via email

To contact SCAD via phone, call 800-869-7223. You can also write an email with all your questions and send it to contact@scad.edu.

There’s no guarantee that the Common App will be able to get you the fee waiver, but you can always try to apply for one using our app—DoNotPay.

Do You Qualify for a SCAD Application Fee Waiver?

Since it’s possible to submit your application to SCAD using the Common App, this platform’s eligibility criteria for requesting a fee waiver should apply.
