Fee Waiver Policy
Your application fee will be automatically waived within the Common Application and Coalition on Scoir application if you are applying for financial aid and/or first-generation-to-college student (neither parent graduated from a four-year college or university).
You do not need to request a waiver prior to applying as the fee waiver happens automatically.
The application fee is also waived for veterans, Explore Bowdoin applicants, and anyone for whom paying the application fee presents a significant financial hardship. You may select any of these options on the Bowdoin Supplement portion of the application in either the Common App or Coalition on Scoir.
If you do choose to pay the application fee, it is non-refundable.
