TSU School Fees for Indigenes and Non Indigenes
Taraba State indigenes enjoy greatly lower tuition fees compared to students from other states. This is consistent with the policy of many Nigerian state universities, which offer subsidised rates to encourage local participation in higher education.
Student Category | Fee Range Per Session |
|---|---|
Taraba State Indigenes (Freshers) | ₦25,000 – ₦35,000 |
Taraba State Indigenes (Returning) | ₦25,000 – ₦35,000 |
Non Indigenes (Freshers) | ₦35,000 – ₦50,000 |
Non Indigenes (Returning) | ₦35,000 – ₦50,000 |
Engineering/Health Sciences (All) | ₦47,700 – ₦83,400 |
Even for non indigene students, TSU remains one of the most budget friendly university options in Nigeria. The cost of living in Jalingo, a relatively serene and affordable state capital, further adds to the whole financial appeal of studying at this institution.
TSU Acceptance Fee 2025/2026
For newly admitted students, the first financial obligation after confirming admission on JAMB CAPS is the payment of the Acceptance Fee. This fee is paid to formally secure your admission slot at the university.
Student Category | Acceptance Fee Range |
|---|---|
Taraba State Indigenes (Fresh) | ₦5,000 – ₦10,000 |
Non Indigenes (Fresh) | ₦5,000 – ₦10,000 |
The acceptance fee is the same regardless of the department or faculty into which a candidate has been admitted.
It is required from all freshers, whether admitted through UTME or Direct Entry. Students are advised to pay this fee promptly after confirmation of admission to avoid forfeiting their placement.
