Application fee like the name implies is a fee that a school charges for applying to her institution.
Schools are entitled to choose how much to charge, and whether or not they charge a fee at all. There are thousands of schools who don’t charge application fee and there are also thousands who charge.
Application fee is applicable to universities in Nigeria and other parts of the world, but it’s more popular and used by universities and colleges outside Nigeria. (Canada, UK, US, German, Australia, Ireland) etc.
In times like these, students who are looking to relocate to their dream countries through the study route, might be wondering why the application fee is always compulsory.
Research has shown that it helps schools and colleges to cover the cost of reviewing the applications.
Human interaction is essential in every phase of the process, for conducting information session, reviewing applications and answering applicants’ questions.
One vital reason schools charge for application fee is to reduce the influx of students applying to the schools.
