简洁型：
Dear Sir or Madam:

I am so sorry that I have not the capability to pay the application fee in recent 4 months. The reasons are as following:

1. Currently the exchange rate between US$ and RMB is very high:
8.3 RMB = $ 1.00
2. I am an undergraduate student and have no salary.
3. The strict limitation in our nation to obtain foreign currency, at least in near future.

I am a diligent student. I have taken GRE and TOEFL on June, 2004, and my score is ___. My undergraduate GPA belongs to upper 5% of 180 students in XXX University. I sincerely hope you can consider my situation and review my application.

Your kind considerations are highly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

REQUEST FOR WAIVER OR DEFERMENT OF APPLICATION FEE

Nov. 30, 1996
Office of Admission
College of XXX, Illinois Institute of Technology
S.R.Crown Hall

Chicago, IL 60616-3793 USA

Dear Sir / Madam:

I am an applicant of the College of XXX. I am here requesting the waiver or deferment of paying the application fee. Please consider my following reasons.

First and the most important reason is that I can’t afford it.
I became self-dependent after graduating from high school when I was 18 years old. During my subsequently pursuing for bachelor and master’s degree at XXX University, my average income was:
RMB 200 ( from University per month ), as official exchange rate 1 US$=8.3RMB, it was about $24 a month.
Normal expense:
Food: RMB250
Books, clothes and other daily necessities: RMB100
You can see that my income was far less than the expense, so I had to borrow money from my parents to sustain my study, but they are debts, not contributions.

Another important reason is:
In our country -- P. R. China, free exchange between official currency RMB and US Dollars is strictly limited. One can exchange limited amount of dollars only after he’s got admission from U.S universities and received his passport. Therefore, those who want to apply for the American university should endeavor to acquire dollars through unofficial channels, which would be considered criminal, and meanwhile, they are under the risk of being defrauded. I am now trying to acquire dollars needed through legal channels. To meet the deadline of application, there must be a time interval between submitting the application materials and paying the application fee.
I wish you could consider my request, and review my application first. I am very clear about my responsibility and sure to pay the application fee for your hard work in processing my application if you think the fee can’t be waived under my circumstances. If you would have any question about my information, please contact me through
E-mail at:

Your kindly consideration and help will be greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely
