• Visitor of the MAGE booth on the road at an engineering-related conference and talked to a MAGE representative about the fee waiver opportunity

How to Request a Fee Waiver

1. Meet one of the requirements listed above. If you do not meet one of those requirements, you must do so prior to moving on to step 2
2. Submit an application fee waiver request form at least 3 business days prior to the application deadline
3. MAGE will respond within 3 business days and provide a unique code to use prior to submitting your application
4. Submit your application prior to the application deadline
5. After you apply, monitor your application status and submit any missing documents

• You must be eligible for a fee waiver prior to submitting the application fee waiver request form. If you have not yet met the requirement, do not submit a request. (i.e. if you have registered for an event but have not yet attended, do not submit your request until after you have attended your event).
• Only requests for a fee waiver to apply to a MAGE Master of Engineering or Graduate Certificate in Engineering program will be considered. Requests for programs offered by other units, such as Master of Science or PhD programs, will be denied.
• Eligible applicants can receive only 1 application fee waiver code per calendar year. If an individual wishes to apply to more than one program or semester, they will be required to pay the application fee for the additional applications.
• Subject to change - if application fee waiver conditions change, it will be reflected on this webpage.

In addition to MAGE’s application fee waiver, the University of Maryland Graduate School waives application fees for eligible students in participating programs. Learn more about the participating programs and how to request a fee waiver here.
