Pre-PA students, I received this email today. It has great information about this year’s application cycle, how to apply for fee waivers, and information and a link to register for an upcoming virtual PA school fair that you might want to “attend”.
Good afternoon,
The 2022-2023 CASPA Application is now open. Applicants may now begin applying to multiple PA programs and re-applicants may elect to roll over select data into the new cycle. Please see below for important cycle dates and information.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT: We encourage both applicants and advisors to use the caspainfo.
For assistance with the Universal Advisor Portal, please visit the webadmitsupport or 857.304.2020.
CASPA Fees & Fee Waivers
The 22-23 CASPA application fee is $179 for the first designation and $56 for each additional designation.
Each year PAEA provides a limited number of fee waivers to applicants. The fee waiver covers the fee of the first two designations ($235). The applicant is responsible for fees for additional program designations beyond the amount of the first designation ($56 each). Because funds are limited, meeting eligibility criteria does not guarantee that a fee waiver will be granted. Applicants should contact customer service to inquire about availability.
To be considered for a CASPA fee waiver, the 2022-23 CASPA application must be created, complete the fee waiver application, and submit a copy of any required 2021 federal income tax returns.

CASPA offers 10 deadline options for programs to choose from. Each program selects the deadline that best aligns with their individual admissions timelines and class start dates. The 10 deadline options are listed below and can be found in the PAEA Program Directory.
