St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba School Fees

The college has not made a detailed school fee table widely available online. In practice, private nursing colleges in Nigeria usually communicate tuition to candidates after screening or at the point of admission, often through the admission letter or the Bursary. Fees in private institutions are also normally higher than in state-owned colleges, because the school depends on student payments instead of government funding.

What is confirmed for the 2026/2027 intake is the screening charge: a non-refundable UTME screening fee of ₦30,000, paid for the application form. Beyond that, your total cost will depend on the programme you are admitted into (ND/HND or BNSc), and the school may bill separately for items such as:

Tuition for each semester or session
Acceptance fee
Registration and matriculation charges
Uniforms, name tags and clinical kits
Medical examination and laboratory charges
Library, ICT and examination levies
Accommodation, where hostel space is offered
Council-related registration or indexing charges

When you contact the Bursary, ask for the amount in writing, ask which items are included in the quoted tuition, and ask which items are billed separately. That single step prevents most of the surprises students face later.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba School Fees for Freshers

First-year students almost always pay more than anyone else, because several charges appear only once. For a fresher at St. Anthony, the money you should prepare for will fall into three stages:

Before admission: the ₦30,000 screening fee, passport photographs, photocopies of your documents, and transport to Aba for the interview.
At admission: the acceptance fee and the first instalment of tuition, as stated in your admission letter.
At resumption: uniforms, registration, medical tests, textbooks and clinical equipment.

Use the worksheet below to organise your budget once the college confirms its amounts. Fill the right-hand column with the figure the Bursary gives you.

Cost Item	Status	Your Figure
UTME screening fee	₦30,000 (confirmed, non-refundable)	₦30,000
Acceptance fee	Not published; ask the Bursary	______
Tuition (first semester)	Not published; ask the Bursary	______
Uniforms and clinical kit	Varies	______
Accommodation (if offered)	Varies	______
Books, stationery, transport, feeding	Personal budget	______

A sensible rule for parents is to prepare the first-year money in advance and keep a small reserve for unexpected charges. Nursing students also need practical items, such as a stethoscope and clinical shoes, which can add up quickly.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba School Fees for Returning Students

Once you are past your first year, your bill usually becomes lighter, because the acceptance fee, matriculation charges and starter items are no longer repeated. Returning students typically pay tuition and recurring levies such as examinations, library and clinical postings.

The college has not published a separate schedule for returning students, so do not rely on figures posted by unofficial websites. A good approach is to:

Ask the Bursary for the returning-student schedule at the start of each session.
Confirm whether fees are paid in one lump sum or in instalments.
Clarify the deadline for each instalment and any penalty for late payment.
Keep every receipt, because you will need them for examination clearance and graduation processing.

Students moving from ND to HND, or those on the BNSc track, should also ask whether fees change when they move to a higher level.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba Acceptance Fee

The acceptance fee is the payment that tells the college you are taking up your offer. In most Nigerian nursing colleges, a candidate who does not pay it before the deadline risks losing the slot to someone on the waiting list.

No published acceptance fee amount for St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences, Aba was found for 2026/2027. The amount, the deadline and the payment account should appear on your admission letter. When paying:

Confirm the account name matches the college before you transfer.
Take a screenshot or keep the teller as proof.
Exchange it for an official receipt at the Bursary.
Store the receipt with your admission letter in a safe folder.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba Application Form

According to the 2026/2027 admission notice, application forms are bought directly from the college’s Bursary Department. The notice also describes a non-refundable UTME screening fee of ₦30,000. The payment account named in the notice is in the name of St. Anthony’s College of Nursing Ltd at Zenith Bank. Check the number carefully against the official notice or by calling the college before you pay, as I have not reproduced it here.

The usual process looks like this:

Prepare your JAMB result slip printout and O’Level results.
Pay the screening fee into the official college account, or at the Bursary as directed.
Collect the form from the Bursary Department.
Fill it in carefully and attach your documents.
Attend the interview with the original documents and photocopies.

Some classified listings advertise the form through phone numbers and say registration is done online. Admission notices from the college itself, however, point candidates to the Bursary and warn people against paying into private accounts. Follow the college’s own instructions.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba Admission Requirements

The 2026/2027 notice lists the following requirements:

JAMB: a printout of your JAMB result slip. It may be from any institution of choice, so you do not necessarily have to select St. Anthony as your first choice.
O’Level: five credit passes in English Language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics and Biology from WAEC, NECO, GCE or NABTEB, in not more than two sittings.
Documents: birth certificate, testimonial from your last school and two passport photographs.
Marriage certificate: only if the applicant is married.
Interview: original credentials and photocopies must be presented.

The notice does not state a minimum JAMB score. Since cut-off marks for private nursing colleges are often set in the admission memo, ask the college whether a minimum score applies to your programme, especially for BNSc.

Beyond paper qualifications, the NMCN expects nursing students to be physically and mentally fit for clinical duty. Expect to submit to medical checks at some stage after admission.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba Payment Procedure

Handling money safely is just as important as having it. Follow these steps:

Get the amount in writing from the Bursary or your admission letter.
Verify the account. The college’s own notice warns candidates not to pay into private accounts, so only pay into an account in the college’s registered name.
Pay and keep proof. Keep the bank teller or transfer confirmation.
Collect an official receipt from the Bursary and ask the officer to stamp or sign it.
Photocopy everything. Keep one set at home and carry another to the college.

If anyone promises you admission without screening, offers a discount for payment to a personal account, or pressures you to pay quickly, treat it as a red flag. Real admission follows the process of application, screening and interview.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba School Portal

A listing for the college mentions an official website, but I could not confirm a working student portal address for fee payment or results during my research. Rather than send you to a link I cannot verify, here is how to find the right channel safely:

Visit the college in person at 62/80 Etche Road, Aba, and ask the Registry for the official website or portal address.
Use the contact details printed on the official admission notice, not those on random classified listings.
Be careful with websites that ask you to enter payment card details or login information without clear college branding.
If you are given a portal after admission, never share your login with anyone.

St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba 2026/2027 Admission

The college has opened its 2026/2027 admission for ND/HND and BNSc Nursing. Admission is based on submission of the application form, screening and an interview with original credentials. The notice did not give a closing date in the material I found, so confirm the deadline with the college right away if you have not yet applied.

To prepare, take these steps:

Print your JAMB result slip.
Check that your O’Level results contain all five required credits within two sittings.
Gather your birth certificate, testimonial and passport photographs.
Save enough money for the screening fee and the first instalment of tuition.
Plan your accommodation and transport to Aba.

Applicants with mixed results should note that exam bodies and the number of sittings matter. If you have credits split across more than two sittings, ask the college whether your results can be accepted before paying any fee.

How Much Is St. Anthony College of Nursing Sciences Aba School Fees?

The only confirmed amount for 2026/2027 is the ₦30,000 UTME screening fee. A published tuition schedule and acceptance fee were not available at the time of writing. For reference only, another private nursing college in Abia State, Obohia-Ndoki, has been reported to charge around ₦700,000 per session for some nursing programmes, which suggests private nursing education in the state sits at the higher end of the price range. That figure belongs to a different school, so do not assume St. Anthony charges the same. Get the actual amount from the Bursary before you budget.
