How can I pay the application fee?
Payment can be made only in U.S. dollars in the form of a check or money order made payable to The Ohio State University. All checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank or overseas bank with a branch or affiliate located in the U.S. Please do not send cash, stamps or postal coupons.
Exception: If you apply online, you will be asked to use a credit card.
I cannot afford the application fee. Can the application fee be waived?
No. University policy states that payment of the application fee cannot be waived or postponed. Additionally, an admission decision cannot be made on your application until the payment is received.
Many international applicants resolve this difficulty by having a friend or relative pay the application fee for them, and they repay that person after arriving here. If for some reason you have difficulty in getting money out of your country, your bank may wire the application fee.
Will my application be processed if I do not send the application fee? Can I pay it after I am admitted?
No. University policy states that payment of the application fee cannot be waived or postponed. An admission decision cannot be made on your application until the payment is received. Your application materials will not be processed without the application fee.

Yes, it is possible for a third party to pay your application fee, but it is important for us to credit the proper applicant.

Can I use the online application form to pay the application fee?

Can I use the online application and pay the application fee with a check?
