KajaTally Grad School Application fee waiver 0 Jun 20 2008, 1:27 PM EDT by KajaTally

It is possible to have the application fee waived for most schools. Very few have a process set up for AmeriCorps members. From experience, I recommend first contacting the Graduate School Admissions department of your school of interest and asking about a fee waiver because you are an AmeriCorps member. If the answer you receive is a no, find the contact information to the Dean of the Graduate School. Every school has a different structure, so make sure that you are contacting the Dean that corresponds to your program, incase there are multiple Deans. I sent letters like this to programs I was interested in, and every school that I sent a letter to has waived the fee. I just stated that I was an AmeriCorps member, described my position briefly, described the living allowance, and provided a letter from my coordinator verifying that I am serving.

KajaTally GRE fee reduction 0 Jun 20 2008, 1:10 PM EDT by KajaTally

As an AmeriCorps member you can apply to have the GRE fee lowered. You get a one time 50% discount, so instead of paying $140, you pay $70. That includes the test and 4 schools you want scores sent to. Every additional school is $20.
To apply for the reduction you have to fill out a FAFSA form and contact a university to fill out a reduction certificate based on your FAFSA. Once the school fills out one of these, you send it to GRE, they process it for about 3-4 weeks, and then you get a letter from GRE with your confirmation number allowing you to register at a test location.
