[Note: Beginning with the 2024-25 application cycle, we no longer require a UCSF Application Processing Fee. The only required fee is through the PharmCAS application.]
Applying to grad school can be costly.
We know that.
Fee waivers can be a way to offset that cost considerably!
Applying to UCSF School of Pharmacy is a two-part (two-fee) process -- and both have fee waiver options available!
1. Submit a completed PharmCAS application
For fee waivers for submitting the PharmCAS application, you should contact PharmCAS directly.
2. Submit a UCSF Application Processing Fee
Consider requesting a fee waiver to cover the UCSF Application Processing Fee. A little work is involved but it could certainly save you an additional expense. There are several different categories in which a fee waiver is granted:
- Verification from your current undergraduate Financial Aid office; or
- Meeting certain income eligibility guidelines as a non-student; or
- Submitting a statement of need
I've had several applicants share that they don't meet the first two options and are curious about the third (Submitting a statement of need). We have many applicants in this situation. The answer is easy -- simply complete the Fee Waiver form and submit a statement of need that includes a bit of information on your current financial situation -- and how a fee waiver would help with the cost of applying. Easy-peasy, right?
The UCSF Application Processing Fee Waiver form and instructions can be downloaded online!
