Most applications require a fee unless you have an application waiver. I have some application waivers, but only certain colleges accept them. November is Georgia Apply to College Month, 90% of GA colleges/universities will be free during November! DHS will host a College Fair in November. Last year we had over 15 colleges/universities attend.
