Tuition Payment Options at Shanahan University
One of the more welcoming aspects of Shanahan University's financial policy is the flexibility it offers for paying tuition fees.
Students are not required to pay everything at once, though that option is available. The three approved payment structures are:
Full Payment (100%): A student who can afford to pay the entire tuition fee at the start of the session may do so in a single transaction.
Semester Instalment (50/50): Students may pay 50% of their tuition at the beginning of each semester, splitting the annual fee across two equal payments.
Three Part Instalment (40/30/30): For students who need more flexibility, payments can be structured as 40% at the start of the first semester, 30% later in the semester, and the final 30% before the second semester examinations begin. The condition attached is that all payments must be completed before the student sits for examinations.
This tiered payment approach demonstrates the university's awareness that not every family can mobilise a large sum at once, particularly for expensive programmes.
For a family paying the standard MBBS fee of N3,000,000, the ability to spread payments gives meaningful relief.
