American University Of Nigeria (Aun), Yola (2025/2026 Session) Acceptance Fee And School Fees

Hey there, future AUN eagle (or maybe you're a parent doing the research grind for your child – we see you)! If you've got your eyes set on the American University of Nigeria (AUN) in Yola, Adamawa State, then you're aiming for top-tier education in one of Nigeria’s most prestigious private institutions. And with that prestige comes… yes, you guessed it – fees. But don’t worry; I’ll walk you through it with gist, warmth, and plenty of useful info. You’ll even get a feel of what AUN life is like.

Let’s start from the top, shall we?

Meet AUN – Nigeria’s Little America

The American University of Nigeria (AUN) isn’t your average university. Founded in 2003 by no other than former Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, AUN was created to bring the American style of higher education right to the heart of Yola. Imagine going to a university where classes are small, lecturers actually know your name (and might even know your favorite suya spot), and everything from the campus to the curriculum screams “global standard.”

The school is known for its liberal arts foundation, interdisciplinary learning, and an emphasis on leadership, entrepreneurship, and community service. Whether you’re interested in engineering, law, business, or IT, AUN has got you.

But before we start imagining ourselves lounging under palm trees at the AUN campus, sipping cold zobo, let’s talk money.

First Stop – The Acceptance Fee

So you’ve gotten your admission letter from AUN (congratulations, by the way – that’s no small feat!). The next step is to accept the offer officially. That’s where the acceptance fee comes in.

Acceptance Fee: ₦50,000 (Non-refundable)

This is your official “I’m-in!” payment. It tells AUN you’re serious, and they can reserve your spot in the incoming class. Keep in mind, this fee is separate from the actual tuition and other school fees. Once you pay this, you can go ahead to complete your registration, receive your matric number, and start preparing for resumption.

Now to the Big One – School Fees

Let’s break it down department by department because, let’s be honest, not all courses are created equal when it comes to how much you’ll pay. The figures I’m about to mention are approximate and subject to periodic changes, but they’ll give you a good ballpark figure.

1. School of Arts and Sciences

This includes programs like Communications, English Literature, Economics, International and Comparative Politics, etc.

• Tuition: ₦1,850,000 – ₦2,200,000 per session

• Other Fees: (Technology, Student Activities, Health Insurance, etc.): ₦300,000 – ₦400,000

Total: Expect to pay between ₦2,150,000 – ₦2,600,000 per academic year.

• Other Charges: Approximately ₦400,000

Total: Around ₦2,600,000 per session

3. School of Engineering

Ah, the engineers – the ones who will "build Nigeria's future." Be ready; this school is more hands-on and techy, so fees are a bit higher.

Accommodation Fees – Because You’ve Got to Live Somewhere

AUN offers different hostel arrangements to suit different needs (and wallets).

• Shared Room (4 students): ₦150,000 – ₦180,000

• Double Room: ₦250,000 – ₦300,000

• Single Room: ₦350,000 – ₦500,000 (Yes, you can ball if your pocket allows)

All accommodations are well-furnished and come with basic amenities. Some premium hostels have ACs, private bathrooms, and 24/7 light. That’s right – 24/7!

Feeding – Because Garri Alone Cannot Sustain You

AUN doesn’t do the “find-your-own-food” struggle. Students are required to pay for meals through the meal plan system. You choose the plan that suits you best.

• Meal Plan: ₦250,000 – ₦300,000 per semester (Depending on how much you eat and how bougie your taste is)

You’ll have access to the school cafeteria, which offers a variety of meals – both local and continental. So whether you’re craving jollof rice or pasta with grilled chicken, you’re covered.

Extras You Should Budget For

Let’s not forget the little things that will still demand your money like taxes.

• Books and Materials: ₦50,000 – ₦100,000

• Medical Insurance: Usually covered in the general fees, but sometimes it goes up to ₦50,000

• Laundry (Optional): ₦10,000 – ₦30,000 per semester if you don’t want to wash your clothes yourself

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Now, if you’re thinking, “Wow, this is A LOT,” you’re right. But AUN offers merit-based scholarships and need-based financial aid. If you graduate with a strong WAEC result (say, 6 A’s and above), or you’re coming from an underprivileged background, it’s worth reaching out to the admissions office to ask about options.

Is AUN Worth the Money?

That’s a big yes – if you or your sponsor can afford it. You’re not just paying for a degree, you’re paying for an experience. AUN students graduate not just with academic knowledge but with leadership training, global exposure, and real-world skills. Think of it like investing in an elite, American-style education right here in Nigeria.

Plus, the AUN campus is serene, secure, and equipped with high-end facilities. Students have access to ultra-modern classrooms, a digital library, state-of-the-art labs, and vibrant extracurricular opportunities. You get mentorship, a student-to-lecturer ratio that makes learning easy, and an international alumni network.

Conclusion

Choosing a university is a big deal, and paying the fees can be even bigger (or scarier). But with the right mindset, the right financial planning, and perhaps a sprinkle of prayer and scholarship luck, the American University of Nigeria could be the perfect launchpad for your dreams.

If you’ve got your admission letter already, congrats! Get ready for an unforgettable ride. And if you’re still hoping to get in – fingers crossed, the AUN gates might just open for you soon.

Whatever happens, just know this: education is an investment, and where better to plant the seed than a place built to grow leaders?
