We'll waive your application fee

If you visit Penn State Beaver either virtually or in person, we'll be happy to waive the $65 application fee when you apply at admissions.psu.edu.* Here's what you need to do:

Step 1: Get your high school transcript

Obtain an unofficial transcript of your grades from your high school guidance office. You'll need this to complete the Self-Reported Academic Record (SRAR) portion of your Penn State application.

Step 2: Create a MyPennState profile

Go to admissions.psu.edu and create a MyPennState profile. Make note of your MyPennState ID. It will look something like "xyz1234."

Step 3: Fill out your application

Fill out your Penn State application at admissions.psu.edu using your MyPennState ID. When you get to the screen that asks for your credit card information, STOP. Do not enter any payment information. Instead, print out your application using the "Print summary" button.

Step 4: Talk to an admissions counselor

Gather your application summary, unofficial high school transcript, and MyPennState ID and contact us at [email protected]. We'll get in touch with you to take care of the fee. After that, go back to admissions.psu.edu and submit your application.

* Note: Do not pay the application fee or enter your payment information when filling out your application. If you do, we cannot waive the fee or refund your money. We can only waive fees for applications completed at admissions.psu.edu. Fees charged when completing the Coalition or Common applications cannot be waived.
