Fee Schedule

The table above is an approximate statement of tuition fees, other charges and anticipated personal expenses as of August 2005. Figures are in US Dollars.

Explanatory Notes:

Settling-in expenses are incurred when one first arrives to campus and include essential household items which are needed when moving into a new home. This might include mattresses, dishes, food, etc.
NEGST requests that a student's living expenses be sent directly to the student. All students are encouraged to have their own personal bank accounts. In special cases a sponsor may wish to channel funds through NEGST. NEGST will administer such funds in accordance with the wishes of the sponsor.
Any student with school-age children must make private arrangements to meet their children's schooling expenses.

Fee Deposits and Financial Assistance

A deposit of USD500 must be paid to NEGST within six (6) weeks of receipt of an acceptance letter to indicate intention to enroll. This money will apply towards the first term tuition fees at the time of registration. This deposit does NOT guarantee housing on campus.

NEGST student fees are quoted in US dollars. For those wishing to pay in the local Kenyan currency (KSHS) NEGST provides the exchange rate at the beginning of each term. The exchange rate for Term 3 of 2005 (May-August) was 75 Ksh. per US dollar.

Financial Assistance

NEGST works on the principle that the responsibility of paying fees and personal expenses lies with the student. NEGST itself does not have funds to aid students. It is dependent on the gifts of outside donors. All donations for this purpose are deposited into the NEGST Financial Assistance Fund. Students wishing to be considered for financial assistance must fill out an application form at the Financial Aid Office. Consult the Student Financial Aid Policy for further information regarding financial assistance.

Refund Policy

Any student dropping course(s) after registration without completing the appropriate Add/Drop form and receiving the required consents of the teacher and Advisor will not receive a refund.

Tuition Refund

Refunds of tuition and certain fees may be made upon official withdrawal from courses according to the table below. Date of withdrawal will be determined by the date the student signs/submits official drop slip. A student is not permitted to personally withdraw a refund if his/her bill was paid by some other person or by some other means (e.g. church, grant, scholarship, etc.) than by him/herself.

To receive a refund adjustment for any class dropped, the student must report to the office of the Registrar and complete a drop slip. All tuition refunds are based on the date the drop slip is submitted/completed.

Tuition refunds are determined as follows:

Prior to the first week of school	100% refund
First week of school	95% refund
Second week of school	75% refund
Third week of school	50% refund
Fourth week of school	25% refund
After the fourth week of school	0% refund

In addition, Room, Board and Insurance fees are refundable on a pro rata basis. Registration fees, Student Association fees, immigration fees and other fees are not refundable. Where NEGST subsidy is involved, cash refunds will not be given to beneficiaries. In such a case any shortfall towards future registration shall be the responsibility of the student.
