Tuition and Fees
for Full time students sponsored by governments of countries contributing to UWI
There are different fee structures for those students applying for full time undergraduate studies, originating from different countries. The tuition and fees differ for students who are from campus contributing countries and those who are not.
The University of the West Indies has introduced a new credit based fee structure for undergraduate programmes which will offer students the advantage and flexibility of being able to pay in accordance with the number of credits chosen.
Tuition fees for nationals of contributing countries sponsored by their governments have been calculated at 20% of the 2006/2007 economic cost. Contributing governments pay the remaining 80% of the economic cost on behalf of each sponsored student. Fees for students from contributing countries, not sponsored by their governments, who are admitted under the quota, have been calculated at 33.3% of the economic cost.
