If you're applying to any OHSU School of Medicine graduate program and are economically disadvantaged, have extenuating circumstances, or participated in a qualifying program (see list below), you're eligible to request an application fee waiver. Graduate Studies provides a limited number of application fee waivers each academic year and these waivers are granted based on funding availability and are not guaranteed. Please note that fee waiver requests should be submitted at least five (5) business days before your program’s application deadline. You must request a waiver by contacting somgrad@ohsu.edu before submitting your application. The Graduate Studies office will review all application fee waiver requests and notify you if you're granted a waiver.

Process

To submit a fee waiver request, you or your program must contact somgrad@ohsu.edu at least five (5) days before you submit your application and include your name, CAS ID, and reason for eligibility. Graduate Studies will review requests and contact you with a decision. If you're approved for a waiver, Graduate Studies will send you a coupon code that you'll enter when you submit your application. Note that you can be granted only one fee waiver.
