Application Fee
An application fee is a charge that organizations, such as colleges, rental companies, or job employers, ask you to pay when you submit your application. It helps cover the cost of reviewing your information and processing your application. This fee is usually paid upfront and is non-refundable, meaning you don't get it back even if your application is not successful. The amount can vary depending on the organization and the type of application. Paying the fee allows the organization to efficiently evaluate candidates or applicants.
