Fee Transparency
The price you see is the price you pay.
PathPort was built because students were being overcharged by agents who added undisclosed commissions to college fees. We eliminate that completely.
Core commitment: PathPort earns nothing from your tuition fee. We are not paid per enrolment. The only money that flows in a PathPort transaction is from student to college — not via PathPort's accounts.
What PathPort does
Show tuition fees in the currency the institution charges in, on every course page.
Display fees that match the invoice issued by the college — no inflation.
Break down what is included (tuition only) vs. what is not (accommodation, insurance, living costs).
Show an estimated total cost of study including typical living expenses, so you can plan accurately.
Update fees when colleges notify PathPort of changes, before the next application cycle.
What PathPort does not do
Charge a platform fee, processing fee, or facilitation fee on top of college tuition.
Earn commission from colleges based on student enrolments.
Accept payments from students — fees go directly to the college via bank transfer.
Charge for document submission, offer letter downloads, or study-permit tracking.
Add currency conversion markups — a converted amount always carries the published exchange rate it was derived from, displayed with the fee.
