WMU offers undergrad application fee waiver for Michigan College Month!

Posted by Megan Anderson on October 6, 2025

When recruiting or otherwise working with prospective students who have an interest in applying to WMU, please share the following information: Western recognizes that the cost of college is a significant investment, and right now, students can take their first step toward becoming a Bronco without paying an application fee. As part of Michigan College Month, the application fee is waived for all domestic undergraduate applicants who submit their admission application by October 31. As you are working with prospective students, encourage them to visit wmich.edu/apply to get started:

  • First-year students should complete the Common App.
  • Transfer and other undergraduate applicants should use the WMU Gold Gateway application.

This is a great opportunity to help students apply for free and move one step closer to joining the Bronco community!
