Fountain University, Osogbo has released its approved school-fee schedule for the 2026/2027 academic session. The university’s official fee page lists charges for fresh undergraduate and Direct Entry students, returning undergraduates, JUPEB foundation students, postgraduate programmes, sandwich programmes, top-up/conversion routes and a range of additional charges.
This update matters to candidates considering Fountain University’s ongoing 2026/2027 admission exercise, as well as parents and sponsors preparing a realistic budget. The figures below are taken from the university’s published schedule. Before paying, confirm the invoice shown on the official portal because some programmes attract separate laboratory, clinical, professional or general charges.
Fountain University school fees for fresh students
The official schedule places newly admitted 100 Level and Direct Entry students into different fee bands according to college and programme. The listed programme amounts are:
| College or programme group | Programmes | Listed amount |

| College of Arts and Education | B.A English; French; Linguistics; History and International Studies | ₦481,800 |
| College of Arts and Education | B.A. (Ed) Arabic, English or Islamic Studies; B.Sc. (Ed) Computer Science or Economics | ₦330,000 |
| College of Management and Social Sciences | Accounting, Banking and Finance, Business Administration, Economics, Political Science, Public Administration, Sociology, Criminology and Security Studies, Library and Information Science | ₦766,656 |
| College of Management and Social Sciences | Mass Communication | ₦832,656 |

In other words, the published fresh-student programme amounts range from ₦319,000 for B.A Arabic and B.A Islamic Studies to ₦2,127,125 for Nursing Science and Law. That comparison should not be treated as a final total: the university also lists separate application, acceptance, portal, medical, laboratory, parents’ forum and other charges.
Important extra charges for new students
Fountain University’s additional-fee section lists the following charges for the 2026/2027 session:
| Charge | Amount |
|---|---|
| Regular undergraduate application form | ₦2,000 |
| Regular undergraduate acceptance fee | ₦75,000 |

| Entrepreneurial levy for 200–400 Level | ₦15,000 |
| Parents’ Forum levy for freshers | ₦30,000 |
Science and health-related students should budget for programme-specific charges where applicable. The official page lists laboratory fees of ₦40,000 for 100 Level COBMEHS and CONAS students, ₦50,000 for specified 200–400 Level laboratory work and ₦80,000 for specified 500 Level laboratory work. It also lists a ₦10,000 practical manual for science-based 100 Level students. Clinical and professional charges include nursing induction of ₦220,000, Medical Laboratory Science induction of ₦150,000 and other indexing or clinical-posting charges.
Fees for returning undergraduate students
Returning-student amounts are also organised by programme and level. The schedule shows that fees can change between 200, 300, 400 and 500 Level, so returning students should use the row for their exact programme and level rather than rely on a fresher’s figure.

How to confirm the correct Fountain University bill
- Open the university’s official 2026/2027 school-fees page and match your college, programme and student status.
- For admission applications and payment instructions, use the university’s official e-Portal, which is linked from the university website.
- Separate the programme fee from acceptance, application, medical, portal, parents’ forum, laboratory, accommodation or professional charges.
- Confirm whether a charge is compulsory for your level and programme before paying. Do not add figures from unofficial WhatsApp messages or agents to the university’s approved schedule.
- Keep the payment receipt and verify that the beneficiary and payment channel belong to Fountain University.
Is there a payment deadline?
The fee schedule confirms the approved 2026/2027 amounts but does not state one universal payment deadline for every student or programme. Candidates should therefore not assume that the date of an online post is a payment deadline. Newly admitted students should check their admission letter, portal invoice and official communication from the Bursary or Admission Office for any programme-specific deadline.
Fountain University’s official homepage also says the 2026/2027 admission exercise is ongoing and warns applicants to use only the university website and official admissions portal. That warning is important because school-fee payments are a common target for fraud.
What parents and candidates should budget for
Use the published programme amount as the starting point, then add only the charges that apply to the student. For example, a student in a science or health programme may have laboratory, practical, clinical or induction costs that do not apply to an Arts student. Accommodation, transport, feeding, books and personal expenses should also be planned separately unless the university’s invoice expressly includes them.
For the most accurate figure, compare the official fee page with the student’s portal invoice and ask the Bursary Unit about any difference before payment. Fees can be revised by management, and an old screenshot is not enough evidence of a current bill.
