Saf Polytechnic Iseyin School Fees 2026/2027 | The Complete Fee Schedule

Saf Polytechnic Iseyin School Fees 2026/2027: Are you planning to resume at “Saf Poly”? Located along the Iseyin-Oyo Road in the historic town of Iseyin, Oyo State, Saf Polytechnic is a fast-growing private institution that has become very popular in the Oke-Ogun region. One major reason for its popularity is its unique approach to Tuition Fees. Unlike many private schools that charge a flat, high rate, Saf Polytechnic is famous for its “Tuition-Free Scholarship” offers. However, “Tuition-Free” does not mean “Zero Cost.” You still have to pay for administrative and service charges. If you don’t understand this difference, you might be confused when you receive your bill.

This guide details the projected financial breakdown for the 2026/2027 academic session, explaining the “Scholarship” model, the ancillary fees you must pay, and the reality of living in Iseyin.

• The Catch: You MUST pay for “Service Charges” and “Ancillary Fees” (like ID cards, Medicals, Sports, ICT, etc.).

• Result: You still end up paying a sum each semester, but it is generally cheaper than other private polytechnics.
