Georgia Southern University is waiving application fees for undergraduate and graduate students in November 2026. The waiver applies to its Statesboro, Savannah, Hinesville and East Georgia campuses, though some program-specific graduate applications are excluded.
Why it matters
The university says the waiver is meant to make applying easier and more affordable for prospective students across Georgia. Application fees can be a barrier for students weighing multiple schools, so the waiver lowers the cost of applying during the month.
