COSTS OF APPLYING TO COLLEGE

Application fees are a part of the college process. According to a US News & World Report, the average undergraduate application fee in 2019 was $43, while $50 was the most common application fee amount. The most expensive schools have fees around $80 to $90, including Stanford University, Duke University, and Columbia University. At a minimum, students will need to spend between $50 and $65 for the SAT or ACT and another $12 to have their test score sent to college they are applying to – $12 per college they are applying to. Students who want to go “all-out” can expect to pay a few hundred to a few thousand dollars in test preparation, then there’s the cost of an on-campus visit; depending upon how far you live from the school, this might be the cost of driving across town or the cost of a round-trip plane ticket and hotel room.

THE BIGGEST MYTH

The biggest myth about scholarships is that there are no expenses for the Foundation that awards scholarships to process applications. In order to process applications, the CC Taylor Foundation pays thousands of dollars each year in expenses that could otherwise be used toward funding scholarships. 

WHY SPONSOR AN APPLICATION?

We have costs associated with our mission that you can help defray by sponsoring an application for either an undergraduate student or a seminary student. When you sponsor an application, you enable us to fund and offer an Application Fee Waiver program to our applicants.

An Application Fee Waiver enable students whose financial condition would make paying the application fee burdensome to still apply for a scholarship from our Foundation.

The CC Taylor Foundation Application Fee Waiver requirements follow the College Board's conditions.

  • Applicant family receives public assistance.
  • Applicant lives in federally subsidized public housing, a foster home, or are homeless.

Certain other gifts, real property, personal property, in-kind gifts, non-liquid securities, and contributions whose sources are not transparent or whose use is restricted in some manner, must be reviewed prior to acceptance due to the special obligations raised or liabilities they may pose for CC Taylor Foundation.

The CC Taylor Foundation will provide acknowledgments to donors meeting tax requirements for property received by the charity as a gift. However, except for gifts of cash and publicly traded securities, no value shall be ascribed to any receipt or other forms of substantiation of a gift received by CC Taylor Foundation.
