Applications are due at 11:59 p.m. in your local time zone on the dates indicated above.
Bucknell's application fee is $50. This nonrefundable fee is paid electronically through the Coalition Application (powered by Scoir) or Common Application website.
We don't want this fee to be an impediment to your applying for admission. If you feel that your financial circumstances qualify you for an application fee waiver, please indicate this when you apply through the Coalition Application (powered by Scoir) or Common Application.
New students are required to make a nonrefundable deposit of $500 after they have been admitted to Bucknell. This deposit is credited to the student's first-semester billing.
Our thoughts are with families affected by recent disasters and civil unrest around the world.
To help remove some concerns for students in these areas, Bucknell will offer an application deadline extension, as well as an application fee waiver.
For applicants with internet access who are able to do so, please email admissions@bucknell.edu for assistance. For those without internet access at this time, we will continue to accept applications after our deadline.
We are here to help.
Through our robust merit scholarship program, we invest in students who are talented, inquisitive and equipped to make the next big breakthrough. In order to be considered for a merit scholarship, you must apply using the scholarship application.
If college costs are a consideration for your family, we invite you to apply for need-based aid at the same time you apply for admission.
