No AUA fee figures could be verified, and its website returned a firewall block (HTTP 403) when checked in August 2026 — contact the university directly rather than relying on the site. Note it may price in USD rather than shillings given its continental remit; confirm the currency before budgeting. THE FUNDING ROUTE THAT MATTERS HERE IS PROBABLY NOT KENYAN: as a pan-African institution serving the Seventh-day Adventist Church, most of its students are likely to be non-Kenyan and therefore outside HELB entirely, while church sponsorship — common for students entering ministry or church administration — is likely the primary source. Ask about Seventh-day Adventist Church sponsorship first. BEFORE ANY OF THAT, establish AUA's Kenyan accreditation status and which entity awards the degree: it operates in Kenya but serves a continental church constituency, and whether its degrees are CUE-registered Kenyan qualifications determines their recognition entirely. That was not established.

AUA is understood to be POSTGRADUATE-ONLY, which would mean a bachelor's degree is the entry requirement. Confirm.
Establish whether AUA admits students OUTSIDE the Seventh-day Adventist Church — this was not determined and is material if you are not a member.
Ask for the current programme list. For a postgraduate-only institution the programme list is the entire proposition, and none was retrievable.
Ask about delivery mode: a continental student body makes distance or intensive residential block teaching likely, which changes the practical proposition completely.
