Please note that BISA FEES are significantly subsidised. Also note that the full payment of fees at the beginning of the academic year attracts a five percent discount.
Students will need to notify BISA of incoming payments that are to be credited to their student account so that we can allocate payment correctly – this applies especially to electronic transfers. Use your student name as a reference.

BISA Tuition Fees Payment Method
Payments may be made to the College in the form of Cheque, electronic transfer or direct deposit. Please note that BISA does not have Credit Card facilities.
Cash payments are accepted but we would prefer the student to make a deposit directly into the college’s account rather than handing over large sums of money. Please send us a copy of the bank’s deposit slip.
Payments issuing from foreign countries can be made via bank draft or, preferably, a telegraphic transfer (TT) – as this is a safer option. Please include the cost of the bank service fees for drafts and TT’s.
