The school needs to review your documents, check your eligibility, and prepare official admission letters. This requires staff time and resources.
In many cases the fee helps cover external checks, such as verifying your transcripts, confirming your English test results (TOEFL/IELTS), or issuing visa-related documents (like the I-20 form for an F-1 student visa).
The fee shows the school that you’re a serious applicant. It helps them focus on students who are truly motivated, instead of those who send out dozens of random applications.
Usually, this fee is paid only once when you first apply to a school. If you continue your studies or transfer within the same institution later, you won’t need to pay it again.
