Applicants to NYU are expected to pay a non-refundable application fee. The fee is $70.00 US dollars and can be paid online by credit card. If you must submit a check or money order instead, please include your name, Common Application and/or NYU University ID number on your check or money order. Please make your check or money order payable to New York University and send to:
New York University
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
665 Broadway, Suite 1100
New York, NY 10012-2339
Please do not send cash under any circumstances.
Fee Waiver Requests
Students who feel that the application fee would be a financial hardship for their families may request a fee waiver. If you would like to request a fee waiver, please check one of the fee waiver boxes on the Common Application and submit a "Request for Application Fee Waiver" form, signed by your guidance counselor. You can determine your eligibility for a waiver and obtain a form by visiting the National Association of College Admission Counseling (NACAC) website.
NYU also accepts fee waiver request forms available through the College Board and Expanding College Opportunities as well.
If you do not meet the eligibility guidelines outlined by the National Association of College Admission Counselors, but you would still like to be considered for a fee waiver, please submit your request in writing – with a one paragraph explanation of how an application fee would present a financial hardship for your family – to the address above.
Please note:
- You must check one of the fee waiver request boxes on the Common Application to qualify for a fee waiver and we cannot provide a refund for any application fee you have already paid.
- You must mail your fee waiver request form or personal request letter after you submit the Common Application. We will communicate with you if your request is not granted.
- Application fee waivers will not be granted for international students applying to NYU’s Washington Square campus in New York City.
