Fitchburg State University will no longer charge an application fee for its undergraduate programs, the school announced on Monday.
Historically, applicants were charged $50 to apply to the university, according to FSU.
“The elimination of the fee removes a financial barrier to students applying to college and is part of our institutional equity initiatives,” said FSU President Richard Lapidus in a statement.
Students who have already submitted applications and paid the fee this fall will be reimbursed.
Earlier this year, Worcester Polytechnic Institute announced it, too, was dropping its $70 application fee. The school said the change was part of an ongoing effort to make its application process more accessible.
