Fee principles
What the fees cover
Fees cover the application review and the service plan you choose. They do not guarantee acceptance or introductions.
- Application and review fees are separate from annual membership fees.
- Annual fees begin after approval and depend on the service plan selected.
- Commission, referral and institution-to-partner commercial terms are not included.
- All amounts are in euros and exclude taxes unless the table says otherwise.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do higher membership fees improve matching rank?
No. A service plan changes account limits and support. It does not change the provider’s partner requirements or the application decision.
When does an application fee become non-refundable?
The fee becomes non-refundable when the full review starts, unless the member terms or law require otherwise.
Are commissions included in membership fees?
No. Each provider sets the commercial terms for its own partnerships. EducationB2B does not publish or standardise commission rates.
