Application fee
An application fee is required by some institutions or sector organisations to process an application to study.
Application fee is different from tuition fee, which is the charge made by institutions to students to cover all or part of the cost of tuition. Some countries do not charge tuition fees regarding higher education as a social good not a private good.
The Common Data Set of U.S. Higher Education Terminology (2010) states:
Application fee: That amount of money that an institution charges for processing a student's application for acceptance. This amount is not creditable toward tuition and required fees, nor is it refundable if the student is not admitted to the institution.
