application fees
Entry processing charges
Application fees are charges paid when submitting a formal request—for college admission, rental housing, a job, a loan, or a permit.
The fee covers administrative costs of processing the application and is typically nonrefundable regardless of outcome: The application fees alone set me back five hundred dollars.
Some institutions waive fees for applicants who demonstrate financial need.
