Learn How To Apply for a UT Dallas Application Fee Waiver

The University of Texas in Dallas (UTD) is the second-largest public university in Dallas’s urban area. With its eight schools and more than 28,000 students, it is a rising public research center. It offers study programs in:

  • Audiology
  • Business
  • Engineering
  • Science
  • Arts
  • Technology

Like most other universities, the University of Texas in Dallas requires candidates to pay a certain fee when they submit their applications.

Many students find college fees excessive, considering the amount of other college-related expenses. To avoid paying for college application fees, a student must meet certain criteria and obtain a fee waiver. Requesting college fee waivers is a demanding task most of the time.

That’s why DoNotPay created a feature dedicated to the students who need financial aid.

What Are College Application Fee Waivers?

While all students can apply for a fee waiver, not everyone is eligible to obtain it. There are certain criteria that candidates have to meet. Some of the criteria include:

The same requirements apply when getting SAT and ACT fee waivers.

This list of conditions can apply to international students as well, depending on the university. The UT Dallas does not specify if that is the case there, but you can check with their admissions office via email at admission-fee@utdallas.edu.

Everything There Is To Know About the University of Dallas Application Fee

Not every college charges application fees. For those that do, prices can vary from $25 to $90.

The application fee for the University of Dallas is $50, provided that a student is applying on time. For late applications, the fee is $125. The application fee is non-refundable.

How To Check Whether You Qualify for the University of Dallas Fee Waiver

The University of Dallas has strict rules for deciding who qualifies for their fee waivers, besides the general criteria mentioned above. You can tell if you are eligible for the waiver if you fall under one of these categories:

  • Currently enrolled students and alumni—UT Dallas automatically waives the standard and late application fees for these candidates
  • Military personnel—To become eligible for a $50 fee waiver, you must provide certain documents, such as valid Military ID, Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty (DD214), and driver’s license indicating the veteran designation
  • McNair Scholar program’s participants—Applicants enrolling in doctoral studies at the University of Dallas must provide a signed copy of their McNair program application fee waiver form
  • Students with SAT or ACT fees waived and meeting the National College Fairs (NACAC) criteria
