Makerere University has introduced a new fee of sh10, 000 that will be paid by all students joining in the 2014/2015 academic year.
Named Endowment Fees, the amount is part of the new fees structure that was passed by the University Council on February 19.
The new fees will be paid once in an academic year by all students who will join Makerere University after the 2014/2015 academic.
This fee will not affect continuing students.
Makerere University admitted about 23,000 students for the different undergraduate courses for the academic year 2014/2015.
This money will go to the Makerere University Endowment Fund, recently launched by the institution’s chancellor Prof Mondo Kagonyera. The Makerere Council recently approved the establishment of the Fund and the board to steer it.
