PhD Application Fee Waiver

 

All applicants are eligible to apply for a fee waiver. Applicants who do not qualify for a fee waiver through the application portal (including International Students) may apply directly to the History of Consciousness Department. The department has a very limited number of waivers available and will evaluate requests on a case-by-case basis. 

 

Any request for a departmental fee waiver must be made by 5PM PST on December 1st. 

 

1) You must have, as minimum, completed, uploaded, and submitted the following items to your application: statement of purpose, personal history statement, statement of financial need, and your resume.

 

2) You must have not yet paid for your application to the University.

 

3) To request the fee waiver (do not pay the application fee):

 

a) Domestic Students: In the application portal, follow the directions for requesting a fee waiver on the Payment/Fee Waiver page. Please also complete the optional Statement of Financial Need.   If you are denied a fee waiver, please contact rlbarnet@ucsc.edu to state why you are requesting a fee waiver. If you are granted a fee waiver by the department, we will provide additional directions as to how to complete the fee waiver section in the application portal.

 

b) International Students: International students are not eligible to request a Fee Waiver in the application portal on the Payment/Fee Waiver page. Please upload a Statement of Financial Need and contact rlbarnet@ucsc.edu to state why you are requesting a fee waiver. If you are granted a fee waiver, we will provide additional directions for how to complete the fee waiver section in the application portal.

 

4) The Statement of Financial Need should not exceed one (1) page and should fully explain, in your own words, your need for financial assistance. 

 

NOTE: The Department is unlikely to grant a fee waiver to individuals for more than one application cycle.
