Federal University Lafia (FULAFIA) School Fees 2026/2027: Welcome again to the student parents’ preparations for the Federal University Lafia, FULAFIA, admission in the 2026/2027 academic session. The next important phase after checking one’s admission status is putting finances in order. This article provides an in-depth breakdown of the expected school fee schedule, acceptance fees, and other unannounced charges for both new and returning students.
Estimated FULAFIA School Fees for 2026/2027 Session
Many students often feel confused because the “School Fee” shown on the portal, which is usually around N22,500, only accounts for tuition and service charges. The total amount you need to pay is significantly higher when you include other mandatory fees.
Here’s a realistic budget to help you plan effectively:
1. New Students (Freshers – 100L & DE)
New students tend to pay the highest fees because of one-time charges such as matriculation and medical tests.
| Fee Category | Estimated Cost (Science/Arts) | Estimated Cost (MBBS/Health Sci) |
| Base School Fees | N22,500 | N22,500 |
| Acceptance Fee | N15,000 | N15,000 |
| Matriculation Fee | N25,000 | N25,000 |
| Medical Test | N7,500 | N7,500 |
| Portal & MIS Charges | N10,000 | N10,000 |
| Faculty/Dept. Dues | ~N5,000 | ~N75,000+ (Prof. Levy) |
