Hello Lizfad, I also got admission into NAIT to study electronics engineering (Jan 2021)Hi @Omofar, thank you for setting up this forum. So I have a unique case, my younger brother got admission into NAIT for academic upgrading, which is a prerequisite for his diploma. He currently has WAEC, NECO and a certificate course.
He got an LOA from NAIT and he is supposed to start the academic upgrading program in January. My dad is his sponsor, but I am really confused about the funding aspect. The cost of his academic program is about $6500 but the cost put on his letter is $18000+ for tuition (excluding accommodation).
My questions:
- When applying for the permit, are we applying for the academic upgrading program or the diploma?
- Will the proof of funds be for the academic upgrading program or will it be for the diploma?
- My dad has his company, is his company account sufficient as a sponsor? or does it have to be my dad's personal account?
- How much should we be looking at for the proof of funds? Considering that the tuition is about $18k+ (we will be paying for the full tuition for his academic upgrading program by next week).
I am happy to discuss this further personally with you.
For academic upgrade, I just checked his fees, yes it's 18k cad, I will strongly advise the sponsor to if possible pay for a full year (this is what I did, I have paid my first-year tuition).
