Current Purdue University Northwest (PNW) students and alumni, along with alumni of any Purdue-system campus, can now apply to PNW’s master’s and doctoral programs with no application fee.
The Office of Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars announced on Oct. 26, 2026, that it has eliminated graduate application fees for currently enrolled students and degree-earning alumni of Purdue Northwest, Purdue’s West Lafayette and Indianapolis campuses, and Purdue Fort Wayne.
The waiver creates a more seamless path for students and alumni to take the next step in their academic or career journey. PNW is a doctoral-granting institution that offers high-quality, flexible, cost-effective graduate degree programs in Northwest Indiana.
Degree-seeking and graduate certificate applicants are typically required to pay a nonrefundable application fee of $60 for domestic applicants and $75 for international applicants. Under the new policy, current students and alumni of any campus in the Purdue system who apply to a PNW graduate program can have that fee waived automatically by listing the appropriate Purdue campus as their current or previous institution in the application.
