FYI: Northwestern is giving fee waivers (irrespective of need), on a first- come first-served basis, to encourage applicants to apply early. Basically, if you plan to submit everything by December 1 (or December 31 in some cases), you can receive a fee waiver code.

And how do we get these waivers?

How do I request an application fee waiver?

As an incentive for prospective applicants to apply early (between September 1 to December 1), we offer application fee waivers to any prospective JD applicant who simply fills out our registration form. This form can be found on our Apply page. A fee waiver code will be generated and emailed within 2-3 business days.

From time to time during the admissions cycle, we also send fee waivers to candidates who are registered with LSAC's Credential Referral Service and who meet the Admissions Committee’s criteria. In order to be considered, be sure to check the CRS box when registering your LSAC account. Members of the Admissions team may also offer fee waivers to prospective applicants that they meet at the fall recruiting events we attend.
