Graduate School Fee Waiver

If you are a current or recent participant in UC LEADs, you may qualify for an application fee waiver. Please complete and save the first three sections of the application and contact the Academic Preparation & Outreach Office at apro@ucr.edu. Do not pay or submit your application prior to contacting our office, as we are unable to waive or refund an application fee once it has already been paid.  A letter from your campus UC LEADs coordinator is needed to confirm participation in the program.
