Are There Any Hidden or Overhead Charges With LeapScholar?
LeapScholar adds 0 hidden charges of its own. Separate, genuinely real costs still exist in the process, such as exam fees paid directly to test administrators, university application fees paid to the institutions themselves, and visa fees paid to embassies, none of which are collected by LeapScholar.
The confusion around hidden charges usually comes from these third-party costs being mistaken for LeapScholar fees, when they are payments a student would owe regardless of which counselling platform they used.
Costs That Are Not LeapScholar's
- Exam fees: paid to test administrators for IELTS, PTE or other tests.
- Application fees: paid directly to the universities you apply to.
- Visa fees: paid to the destination country's embassy or consulate.
My Advice
When budgeting for your application, separate LeapScholar's own paid products from these third-party costs in your own spreadsheet. It makes it obvious that a charge you did not expect is coming from an exam body, university or embassy, not from LeapScholar.
