About This List

The 2025 Best Colleges with No Application Fee ranking filters the <a href="https://www.niche.com/colleges/search/best-colleges/">2025 Best Colleges</a> ranking to only include colleges with free applications. Note that additional colleges waive application fees for low-income, minority, veteran, and other student types so be sure to check each school's website. This year's rankings have introduced an Economic Mobility Index, which measures the economic status change for low-income students. ACT/SAT scores have been removed from rankings to reflect a general de-emphasis on test scores in the college admissions process. Read more on how this ranking was calculated.
