Process for applying for the Undergraduate Application fee waiver:
New undergraduate applicants for the Fall 2009 semester who are veterans or hold current military status are encouraged to apply for a waiver of the $30 undergraduate application fee.
(Doesn’t apply to spouses or dependents of veterans or current military personnel - chapter 35)
To receive the waiver, the applicant must:
- File their undergraduate application on the printed out version of the YSU application form.
- Complete the application with all appropriate documentation (see application for instructions) and sign and date the form.
- Attach appropriate military documentation verifying military status
- Deliver these documents to the Office of Veterans Affairs, Tod Hall Rm 310A (3rd floor, end of hall). Or mail to:
Office of Veteran Affairs – Tod Hall
One University Plaza
Youngstown, OH 44555-0001 - Be sure to give current contact information so we may update you regarding the status of your request for the waiver.
- Upon receipt of completed application, we will verify military documentation. If documentation is sufficient, application will be marked for waiving of application fee, and forwarded to YSU Undergraduate Admissions for acceptance determination. If the documentation does not qualify you for the waiver, we will make a good faith effort to contact you via your contact information so that you may re-submit your request with appropriate documents. This may delay your acceptance into YSU.
- If completed on line, payment of the undergraduate application fee is non-refundable .
This is a 2-step process:
1: for the fee waiver done by the Office of Veterans Affairs
2: acceptance to YSU, done by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
The Office of Veteran Affairs reviews the military documents only and has no review or determination of the undergraduate application form for acceptance to the university.
