Free College Applications
Applying for graduate schools, all the apps cost money to submit ($50+ each usually) but you can often get them waived if you’re a member of certain organizations/groups (stuff like honors societies, career development orgs for underrepresented minorities, etc.). I found out that just being an APPLICANT (which was free) for one of those groups counted for the fee waiver, and got application fees waived for over half of the schools I applied to, even after being rejected from that program.
