Caltech requires a $75 nonrefundable application fee.
If the $75 fee creates a hardship for you or your family, follow the steps noted on the Coalition Application website:
In the Fee Waiver section of your MyCoalition Profile, simply check all applicable criteria boxes (such as "I have received a College Board fee waiver.") and you'll see a list of all the schools that will waive your application fees based on your qualification. We don't require any additional documentation or verification. Eligibility criteria include: qualifying for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program, receiving a College Board, ACT, and/or NACAC fee waiver; being eligible for a Pell Grant, participating in TRIO programs.
Alternately, you may email us at ugadmissions@caltech.edu to request a fee waiver.
