Funding package

Recorded funding details

For EAC-SMS, participating host universities waive tuition and examination fees for students from other Partner States. IUCEA covers travel expenses, health insurance, and a research lump sum for Master’s and PhD students. Students or guardians remain responsible for accommodation, daily living expenses, and other university fees.

Not established in this record

  • Mandatory fees

The captured funding wording does not establish support for these costs. This does not mean they are excluded. Check the full package on the official source before budgeting.
