AAAU School Fees — What’s Confirmed So Far
The only session-specific fee breakdown AAAU has published on its official website covers the 2023/2024 academic session. No newer schedule has replaced it as of this check, so treat the figures below as the last confirmed baseline rather than current pricing.
| Programme | 2023/2024 Grand Total (100L) | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| B.Sc Aviation Business | ₦720,000 | Tuition-adjacent charges, G.A.T (ICAO) Certificate fee (₦415,000), sports, medical, library, ICT, and other levies |

⚠️ Data gap: AAAU has not published an updated fee schedule for 2025/2026 or 2026/2027 on its official website. Some aggregator sites cite an acceptance fee of ₦15,000, but this could not be traced to an official AAAU source and should be treated as unconfirmed. Contact the Admission Officer or Bursary directly to confirm current-session fees before making any payment.

The biggest open question for prospective students right now is fees: AAAU’s only published breakdown is two academic sessions old, so budget using it as a floor, not a current quote, and verify directly with the Admission Officer before you commit to payment. If AAAU publishes an updated fee schedule, this guide will be updated to match.
