Applications to universities are no easy task. In addition to considering finances for funding university studies, prospective students also need to consider application fees. This applies to the vast majority of universities and this has become a key obstacle to numerous students in their educational careers.

Certain universities in the United States, for example, can charge over $100 per application. This imposes a heavy financial strain on countless international students who intend to apply to several universities.

However, all is not lost of course! Universities do offer a certain amount of flexibility that allows prospective students to bypass these financial obstacles. In some cases, universities offer a ‘waiver’ that enables select students to override the application fee.

But in other cases, certain universities charge no expenses for an application at all! This is typical if students submit an online application. In this article, we will provide you with information regarding several universities that cost no expenses when it comes to submitting an application.
