Foreign Currency Payments
As an alternative to paying your application fee via credit card, Purdue University Graduate School has partnered with Western Union Business Solutions, a specialist in global business payments. This payment option allows you to pay the Graduate School application fee in the currency of your choice and provides a simple and secure method for initiating payments electronically.
The quote/information you obtain when completing this process is specific to a single application fee payment only and if future application fee payments are required a new quote must be obtained.
