Tuition
- No JOOUST fee figures could be verified — request the current structure from information@jooust.ac.ke. For scale among Nyanza public universities, Maseno's published range runs roughly KSh 122,000-306,000 a year while Kisii's arts degree is KSh 37,400 fully loaded; that gap shows how much programme type drives cost, so ask for YOUR programme specifically. As a public university JOOUST students access both Universities Fund scholarships and HELB loans, means-tested across five household-income bands; apply at hef.co.ke once KUCCPS places you. Bondo living costs are well below Nairobi. Kenya's funding framework is under active litigation and reform, so treat any figure as dated. Fees are paid via M-Pesa through the eCitizen paybill 222222.
Admissions
- The national minimum for degree entry is a KCSE mean grade of C+, with programme-specific cluster requirements set by KUCCPS each cycle.
