Brain Capital: A Smarter Way to Finance Your Studies
Brain Capital offers an innovative tuition financing option that allows you to defer tuition fees partially or fully during your studies at KLU. Instead of paying tuition every semester, you’ll make income-based payments after you graduate, with the total amount based on your earnings. This solidarity-based model means that higher earners contribute more, while those with lower incomes pay less. Rest assured, there are caps on both the annual and total payments (approximately double the tuition fee, adjusted for inflation).
