This is a special site to upload materials for people requesting a preliminary evaluation of their application to Oregon State University's graduate program in Physics. It is intended for people for whom paying the application fee would impose substantial financial hardship.
The graduate committee will do a preliminary evaluation of materials. Strong applications may then be recommended for a limited number of fee waivers. A formal application will then need to be filled out and approved by the Graduate School.
The cover letter should, in addition to the normal discussion of your scientific interests, directly address your particular need for a waiver of the application fee. If denied a waiver, normal application through the paid process is still an option. |
