FAQ
You probably already know that studying abroad costs a lot of money. At first, there are costs to apply for admission, then there are tuition fees (depending on the country), visa fees, plane tickets, and many more and of course the infamous agency Fees. So often they barbarically charge a despicable amount of money to helpless students. We at AbroadBro deplore and denounce such agency fees.
Does it mean, AbroadBro is completely free?
The Honest Answer is No. Despite our best efforts and respectable intentions, AbroadBro at present is not completely free since we are not funded by any organization and we do not receive any grants and it is entirely funded by some international students. Therefore, We do collect a small fee which is a tiny fraction of what other agencies do.
Why does ABroadBro even collect a small fee?
As mentioned, AbroadBro is a Non-Profit Initiative. However, operating this initiative needs quite some resources. Therefore, we only collect a lump sum fee to keep this platform and service running. In short, a student only pays a small fee which costs us to process that student’s application. Here is a brief look at some of the costs to run AbroadBro:
! Purchase and renewal cost of Domain
! Purchase and renewal cost of Hosting Platform
! Web system and Database design, maintenance, running Cost
! Purchase and renewal cost of Digital Workspace Solutions
! Licensing and Legal Entity formation Cost
! Student Advisor’s salaries
! Office rent and utilities
! Electrical devices and so much more
How long does an AbroadBro advisor spend on my application?
Frankly, the list is endless. Most importantly, to process a student application form Apply-yo-Fly, it takes an AbroadBro advisor many many hours to carefully evaluate, consider and propose the best career option for a student. On average, it takes an advisor to exclusively focus on a student’s application for months. Indeed, it is quite a time-consuming and painstaking process since we do not commercialize the process. An AbroadBro advisor will never suggest a study location or course which is not in the interest of a student.
How much is the AbroadBro Fee?
AbroadBro collects a one-off fee of 350 euros or similar in local currencies. This is the one and only fee students have to pay to AbroadBro for their entire application from Apply-to-Fly (A2F). Please bear in mind that sometimes, there are other expenses that are not included in the Abroadbro service fee such as DHL shipping, Notary Public & attestation, University Admission fees (at some uni), etc. However, at AbroadBro, we always try to save you money on your other expenses too.
