In alignment with the Kansas Board of Regents, Wichita State University is taking part in the statewide free college application period — Apply Free Days — Monday, Oct. 5 through Friday, Oct. 9.

During this period, any Kansas resident who applies for degree-bound undergraduate admission to Wichita State can do so without paying the application fee.

Prospective students can start and save their online application at any time, and as long as they submit the final application during the five-day window, the fee will be waived.

“Access and affordability are at the core of Wichita State’s mission,” said Wichita State President Rick Muma. “Apply Free Days remove one of the first barriers Kansas students and families face when making decisions about higher education. We want every student in our state to see Wichita State as a place where their goals are within reach.”

Resources and information related to Apply Free Days are available from the Kansas Board of Regents at kansasregents.org/applyfree.
