A tuition fee is the amount of money that students pay to educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, for their courses and programs. This fee helps cover the costs of teaching, facilities, and resources provided by the institution. Tuition fees can vary widely depending on factors like the type of institution, the program of study, and whether the student is a resident or non-resident. In addition to tuition fees, students may also incur other costs, such as registration fees, textbooks, and supplies. Many institutions offer financial aid options, including scholarships and grants, to help students manage these expenses and make education more accessible.
