If you are surfing through the internet and you come across this article, it probably means that you are searching for Kenyatta University’s official Fee Structure for Self Sponsored Students.
If you didn’t know before, the fee structure for SSP students studying at Kenyatta University is determined by three factors:
- Type of program (Undergraduate or Postgraduate).
- Nature of Programme (Art-based, Science-based, etc).
- Nationality (East Africans pay a much lower amount than those students who hail from outside the East African region).
What are statutory fees?
This is a fee paid by a student who has been admitted into a public university in Kenya and it is usually remitted by the institution to the Government.
Without wasting much time, let’s jump into the details below.
(Note: This is applicable for the current academic year 2021/2022. However, you should note that these figures might change as time goes by. You can visit the official Kenyatta University website for confirmation.)

I was supposed to join on 29th but I didn’t make it how can I defer. Please reply on my email address {hidden for privacy purpose}
Hello Samwel, please read my post on How to Defer a Semester at Kenyatta University.
Hello Moha.
If your calling off letter does not get approved, does that mean I’ll lose sponsorship with the government? Looking forward to your reply.
Hello. You won’t lose the govt sponsorship.
Hello Moha.on your previous post you said that KU admission is valid for two year.i was called in KU but didn’t report nor write a call off letter.so I was asking if right now I want to report since my problem was solved,will I be able to join ASAP or I’ll have to wait and join with others?
Hello too. Yes that’s true. It is valid for two years.
.
It’s your choice to report now or wait for others. However if you choose to report now you’ll find that your classmates are in the second semester and you’ll have missed an entire sem. This will become difficult for you as some units require that you’ve done the prerequisites earlier on.
.
Ultimately it’s better if you choose to wait for the next academic year (beginning September) and report with new cohort.
Is admission ongoing need medicine and surgery
Hello Moha,.. Do you offer scholarships? How will i apply for the scholarship..
No, I do not offer scholarships
