He clarified that each student’s fees will be known after the student has applied for funding and completed the assessment based on the level of need.
He also said that the funding application process results will be over by July 3.
Universities and funding agencies were directed to immediately embark on sensitization of students, parents/guardians and stakeholders on the student-centered funding model.
Similarly, Universities have been directed to notify all their respective first-year students of the amount to be paid by the household upon release of the funding application.
“All First-year students will report to their respective universities based on their admission letters and joining instructions as advised, “he added.
