Things to Consider Before Applying to a University Abroad

Higher education is a major commitment, both financially and emotionally. For international students, the challenges are even greater. Empowering students and universities across the globe is more than a goal — it’s our mission.

What to Consider:

1. Applying to Several Univerisites
   • Most students apply to several universities to increase their chances of admission. But application fees add up quickly. Since they are non-refundable and due before acceptance, students face a significant financial strain before even knowing if they’ll be admitted.
2. Application Stress Forces Students to Settle
   • Paying multiple fees without any guarantee of admission creates stress and limits options. Many students choose “safe” schools rather than applying to their top choices, treating every application as a financial gamble.
3. Missed Opportunities Abroad
   • For some, the financial barrier is so steep that they never even begin the process. These students miss out on the chance to study abroad — and with it, opportunities for education, cultural exchange, and personal growth.
4. Long-Term Career Impact
   • The effects don’t stop there. Missing the chance to study overseas also limits career opportunities, narrows immigration prospects, and prevents students from gaining valuable global experiences.

Typical Costs International Students Pay

If a student applies to five universities, the upfront application-related fees alone can reach $250–$750 USD. Adding test scores and document evaluations, costs can easily climb to over $1,000 USD before acceptance. 

Here are the top 5 university admission costs:

1. Application Fee 

• Charged by most universities to process applications. 

• Range: $50–$150 USD per school. 

2. Document Evaluation / Transcript Fee 

• For verifying or translating academic records. 

• Range: $50–$200 USD depending on service. 

3. Enrollment / Acceptance Deposit 

• Required after admission to secure a seat. 

• Range: $200–$1,000 USD, sometimes higher. 

4. International Student Service Fee 

• Covers immigration support, orientation, and advising. 

• Range: $100–$300 USD per semester. 

5. English Test Fees (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.) 

• Often needed before applying. 

• Range: $150–$300 USD per test. 

So, Why Did We Remove Processing Fees ?

While the application fees charged directly by universities are not covered, UniApplyNow is proud to remove all processing fees for qualified applicants through our platform. This means more students can apply without financial barriers.
