PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Rhode Islanders who are interested in attending Rhode Island College can submit their application for free on Wednesday.

The school is holding its 2nd Annual Apply to RIC for Free Day on Nov. 15. The $50 application fee that RIC typically charges will be waived for in-state students.

The offer is available to undergraduate and graduate students for both the spring and fall 2024 semesters, according to RIC.
