UCAS fee waiver for free school meal (FSM) applicants
For the 2025 cycle, UCAS is waiving the application fee for any student who is or has received free school meals (FSM) during the last six years, up until the end of their final year at school or college.
If you’re an eligible student, you can declare your FSM status in the ‘More about you’ section of your application and choose the ‘Pay Centre’ option when submitting your application. Your school / college adviser will be able to guide you and they will need to review the application fee payment method in the UCAS Adviser Portal.
