ResidencyCAS Application Fees

Requesting a Fee Waiver

The ResidencyCAS Fee Waiver Program is designed to address financial disparities, empower applicants, and promote access to more opportunity across programs by covering the cost of up to 18 program submissions within each specialty you apply to.

To request and qualify for a fee waiver, you must complete the fee waiver form and attach evidence confirming that you received a fee waiver for your medical school application process either from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AMCAS or MCAT) or the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM). If approved, you'll receive a fee waiver code for each specialty you indicated you will be applying to.

Using a Fee Waiver Code

You can apply your fee waiver code when you're ready to submit your applications to each specialty. To receive the full value of the waiver, you must submit all 18 programs for that specialty at the same time. If you apply to fewer than 18 programs, the remaining portion of the waiver will not be available for future use. If you apply to more than 18 programs, you'll need to enter payment information for the additional balance.
