More than a dozen Indiana colleges and universities are waiving application fees, next week, to take the financial pinch out of striving for higher learning.

The fee waiving is a part of “National College Application Week,” Sep. 20 – 24, and Indiana’s “College Go” initiative that helps students explore and begin to create a post high school plan.

Some local schools taking part in the fee waiver are I.U. South Bend, Bethel University, St. Mary’s College, Trine University and Purdue University.

About two dozen schools are waiving the fee year-round.
