UCAS Free School Meals Application Fee Waiver Guide

For the 2025 cycle, UCAS is removing the undergraduate 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 with the aim of helping to remove potential barriers to accessing higher education for disadvantaged students. 

To deliver this initiative for the 2025 cycle (which opens on 14th May), UCAS are asking for your help to encourage your eligible students to declare they have been in receipt of free school meals and support the process in the adviser portal.   

Supporting documents for 2025 applications will reflect the new initiative and be sent to you before the end of June.
