University of the People (UoPeople) is the world’s first non-profit, tuition-free, accredited online academic institution
dedicated to opening access to higher education globally for all
qualified individuals, despite financial, geographic or societal
constraints.
With its tuition-free online programs,
University of the People is opening access to higher education for all
those constrained, as well as building a scalable and replicable model
capable of changing the very nature of higher education. The non-profit
UoPeople has managed to succeed in cutting down almost the entire cost
of higher education, and does not charge for tuition or books/materials.
All that is asked is for students to pay a one-time
application processing fee ($50) and subsequent modest examination
processing fees ($100) levied per course. There are no other fees
whatsoever.
For students unable to pay the Exam Processing Fees,
UoPeople works extremely hard to ensure that no student of UoPeople is
left out of higher education for financial reasons. Students are invited
to apply for scholarships after being admitted to the university and
completing a scholarship application form. UoPeople remains committed to
its mission of democratizing higher education.
