Registration Fee Waiver

The 2024 Fee Waiver Application is now closed.

We recognize that the financial commitment can be a barrier to attending Parent & Family Weekend (September 27-29, 2024). While many no-cost opportunities are offered throughout the weekend, other events, travel, and the $60 registration fee can be prohibitive.

The Parent & Family Weekend Fee Waiver is designed to assist the families of those students with financial need, as demonstrated by the student’s financial aid package. Priority consideration will be given to those students receiving the Go Blue Guarantee and/or based on their financial aid applications, as determined by the Office of Financial Aid. Any parent or guardian of a current, full-time undergraduate student receiving financial aid can apply for a Parent & Family Weekend Fee Waiver. 

The fee waiver only waives the $60 registration fee and allows access to the weekend's free activities. It does not pay for football tickets, travel, or other fee-based events.

The fee waiver application opens on June 25, 2024, at noon ET and closes on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at noon ET. Families will be emailed with the decision regarding the fee waiver by August 2nd. Families who receive a fee waiver must register for Parent & Family Weekend in August.

All application and Parent & Family Weekend fee waiver decisions will remain confidential. Recipients will be privately notified and will not be publicly identified.
