Step-by-Step Guide: Paying University Fees from Nigeria & Ghana Without the Hassle

Receiving an email saying, “Congratulations on your admission to The University of Sunderland or British Columbia…” is a joyful moment! The exciting journey of studying abroad from Africa is about to start, opening up a world of new opportunities.

Yet, this big win comes with its own challenges - paying tuition fees. We’ve spoken to hundreds of African students studying abroad, and many share horror stories about the process of paying for tuition - from excessive exchange fees to delayed payments and complex banking requirements.

If you’re trying to figure out how to pay your UK, Canadian, European or US school fees from Nigeria, Ghana, or any other country, this guide is for you.
