How You Can Waive Your College Application Fee

College application season is ramping up, and it’s essential to know all of your application options. We know it can get stressful between whittling down your college choices, writing application essays, finishing up your last year in school, and paying application fees. We want to help make your application process as smooth as possible, which is why we have options for you to waive your application fee.

In this blog post, we’ll go over the different ways you can have your application fee waived here at Meredith.

Countdown to College

Every October, the College Foundation of North Carolina hosts an event called Countdown to College (C2C). This year, it will take place during College Application Week, which is October 17-21. High school seniors are encouraged to complete three important college enrollment steps during College Application Week: residency, FAFSA, and applications.

As one of the many NC colleges and universities taking part in C2C, Meredith will be waiving the application fees during this exciting week.
