UNIS Hanoi Tuition & Fees

Parents of students enrolled at the United Nations International School of Hanoi (UNIS Hanoi) are required to pay tuition and fees as detailed in the Tuition and Fees Schedule below. Parents have the option of paying annually, or on a semester installment basis when signing the Enrollment contract. Tuition & Fees applicable under the semester installment payment plan are subject to a four percent (4%) administrative charge.

The Tuition Schedule is based on enrolment at the beginning of the school year. For students enroling during the academic year, the Tuition will be adjusted as stipulated in the refund procedures section.

All students are required to pay a mandatory deposit to secure a placement at UNIS Hanoi for the next academic year. A debit note will be prepared for the required tuition deposit of USD 1,000 per student and payment was due by 03 March 2025. UNIS Hanoi will prepare a debit note for all newly accepted students who have agreed to accept an offer of placement for the coming school year, which must be paid by the due date specified in the debit note. This payment guarantees a placement for the student listed in the debit note, provided all other requirements are met. If the required payment is not received by the due date, it will be assumed that the student is not enrolled and his or her place will be made available to another student. The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable if a student is unable to attend UNIS Hanoi. The deposit will be credited against the tuition fee in the first debit note for the 2025-2026 school year. 

Parents have two payment options for Tuition & Fees and Parents have to indicate their preferred payment option in the Enrollment contract, either:

Option 1: Annual payment
A full academic year’s Tuition & Fees must be paid in full on or before 01 July 2025 or before the date of enrolment if joining UNIS Hanoi within the first semester.

Option 2: Semester payment
This payment plan is subject to a four percent (4%) administrative charge that will be levied on the annual tuition. Payment dates for semester installment payment plan are as follows:

• Semester 1: (50%) Tuition & Fees must be paid in full on or before 01 July 2025 or before the date of enrolment if joining UNIS Hanoi within the first semester.
• Semester 2: (50%) Tuition & Fees must be paid in full on or before 28 November 2025 or before the date of enrolment if joining UNIS Hanoi within the second semester.

Please note that the Tuition & Fees are non-refundable & non-transferable regardless of the choice of payment options. Refund procedures will only be applied as stipulated in the Section 10 below.

Enrolment fee of USD 1,200 per student is compulsory, non-refundable and non-transferable. This fee is payable when a student is offered a placement at UNIS Hanoi and must be paid before attending classes. This fee is paid only once, as long as a student is continuously enrolled. If a student leaves UNIS Hanoi for a period of more than two years and subsequently re-enrols, the Enrolment Fee is again payable.
