Hampshire College

Hampshire College has eliminated the application fee for all students applying for the fall 2009 entering class, admissions director Karen Parker announced on November 26.

"Students typically apply to several colleges to ensure that they are admitted to and receive sufficient financial assistance to attend a college with the kind of educational programs and environment they seek,” said Parker. “The cost of multiple application fees causes some to limit their applications. It is important that we are accessible to all students who wish to apply."

Parker described the decision as “effective immediately and retroactively,” with application fees previously submitted for fall 2009 to be refunded to those applicants who have submitted them.
