Select Syracuse University as a choice of school. Complete the Common Application or Coalition Application, powered by Scoir and submit to Syracuse University.

• Fee Waiver: We strive to support all students and families who wish to apply to Syracuse University. There are a few ways to receive a fee waiver:
  • Students who received an SAT or ACT fee waiver may forward a copy to our office;
  • If you have received a waiver from NACAC, we will accept this;
  • School counselors may request an application fee waiver for students for whom it would present a financial hardship. This request must come in writing on school letterhead and may be submitted as a PDF to orange@syr.edu.
  • Any current or former member of the United States military (Veteran, Active-Duty, National Guard, Reserve or Early Commissioning Program) will have their application fee automatically waived by completing the Veterans and Military Students Application.
    
    To submit the application if you have a fee waiver: In the "Profile" section of the Common Application or Coalition Application you will indicate and sign that you qualify for a fee waiver, based on the indicators of economic need listed in this section. This will allow you to submit your application without paying the fee. Once you submit your application, be sure to submit the appropriate documentation to Syracuse University to show that you qualify for the fee waiver. Please contact us at orange@syr.edu if you have any questions.

• Optional First Semester Abroad: Applicants to the College of Arts and Sciences have the option of applying for Discovery Programs which allow students to spend the fall semester of their freshman year in Florence, Madrid, or Strasbourg. Applicants to the College of Engineering have the option of spending the fall semester of their freshman year in Madrid. If you wish to apply for a Discovery Program, select "Yes" in the drop down menu on the Common App. An additional Discovery Program application supplement is required and will be sent to you via email after you submit your Common App.
