The Office of Student Affairs and Admissions at SUNY Optometry is pleased to reinstate its OptomCAS application fee waiver opportunities. We understand the optometry application fees may pose barriers for prospective applicants who wish to apply. The fee waivers intend to minimize this potential barrier in the application process so that all candidates who wish to apply can.
For the current 2023-2024 application cycle, Doctor of Optometry (OD) applicants may be considered for one of the following two OptomCAS application fee waivers:
Although OptomCAS fee waivers are extremely limited and competitive, we do encourage all individuals interested to apply. If you are not awarded a fee waiver, you are still eligible to apply for admission and we look forward to receiving your application. We will update this page once all fee waivers have been awarded.
Open to nation-wide and international candidates. Individuals who believe that their financial circumstances qualify them for an application waiver are eligible. Application fee waivers may only be used toward the current 2023-2024 application cycle, which opens on July 1, 2023, and closes on March 1, 2024.
Application reviews occur on an ongoing, rolling basis. Our Office of Admissions will review applications submitted by the 20th of each month and will announce recipients by the first Friday of the following month until all waivers have been awarded.
