Cost Considerations for International Study

Embarking on international studies involves significant financial planning. While specific tuition fees for Canadian programs vary by institution and program length, Kenyan students should budget for tuition, living expenses, health insurance, and visa application fees. As a rough estimate, tuition alone could range from KES 1,500,000 to KES 3,000,000 annually. Beyond tuition, expect living costs that can add another KES 800,000 to KES 1,500,000 per year. Securing funding through scholarships, loans, or personal savings is a critical step. Thorough research into program costs and living expenses in different Canadian cities is recommended.
