Students admitted under the Jolayemi Education Foundation scholarship (schedules published for the Faculties of Agriculture and Education) are tuition free, and pay the other charges. For year one first semester the payable amount is N158,000, made up of N25,000 tuition, N30,000 registration and N25,000 accommodation per semester (N80,000), plus N78,000 of other charges (development levy, sports, ID card, clinic, library, caution fee, handbook, matriculation gown, branded wear, medical screening, results verification, ICT and exercise books).

Scholarship students pay only through the dedicated scholarship portal link, per semester, until they finish their programme; payment through other links removes them from the scholarship list. After payment, students present the payment printout, copies of O-Level and UTME results and their award letter at the designated bursary office to obtain a free receipt before registration. Scholarship students seeking university accommodation contact the numbers on the scholarship page. The university does not accept cash payments.
