The University of Alabama has announced that next week it will waive application fees for all students.

Free App Week (Oct. 16-20) is designed to assist students who may not be able to apply to the school due to financial difficulties. These difficulties can be made worse by the application fee. the university said. It is hoped the period will allow these students to apply for acceptance.

For information on submitting an undergraduate application for free, visit the Undergraduate Admissions Free App Week page here.

More information about undergraduate requirements can be found on UA’s freshman and transfer admission requirement pages here. The undergraduate application deadline is 11:59 p.m. Oct. 20.

All supporting documents must be received by Nov. 15 at 11:59 p.m. or the application fee will be required.
