Quickpass Fee Waiver

As part of our institutional commitment to expanding college access for students from all backgrounds, Amherst College wants to be certain that application fees do not pose a financial barrier for students who wish to submit an application to Amherst, so we encourage you to pursue any fee waiver opportunities for which you may be eligible. We will accept the general application fee waivers issued by the Common Application or the Coalition Application, but we also have our own institutional fee waiver option --  Quick Pass – that allows even broader criteria as the basis for an application fee waiver for Amherst.  Please complete the following form (both the biographical and questionnaire sections) and then submit to see if you qualify for an Amherst Quick Pass application fee waiver.
