Application Fee Waivers

The Siebel School of Computing and Data Science will provide a limited number of application fee waivers to a subset of outstanding applicants who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents, plan to obtain a doctoral degree or a Master of Science (MS) degree in Computer Science on a full-time basis, and come from communities that are underrepresented in Computer Science.

Qualifying applicants must request the waiver by following these instructions: (i) In the Application Fee Waiver section, answer “Yes” that they are eligible for a fee waiver. (ii) An additional question will ask if they are applying for the Computer Science MS and PhD waiver, to which they should answer “Yes.”

Applicants will be informed whether the department approves their application fee waiver request or if the applicant will be responsible for paying the application fee. Please email questions about the fee waiver to admissions@siebelschool.illinois.edu.
