Cost Description
A clear breakdown of every fee involved in your application journey — no surprises.
Our Fee
Service Fee
When you first apply through the Premium Pathways online admission system, we provide one-to-one consultation — including a preview of your application success rate and employment direction for your chosen major.
We charge different service fees depending on the package you choose. Each package covers applications to up to 3 universities. The fee maintains our platform and funds the full suite of student support services throughout your journey.
University Charges
University Fee
The application fee is charged directly by the universities. Generally it falls between $100 – $200 USD per university, depending on the institution and program. Students are required to pay this fee to cover the university's processing work.
Premium Pathways collects application fees on behalf of universities under formal agreements. Since Chinese universities primarily accept payment in RMB, we handle all foreign-exchange conversion on your behalf.
