Fees

Annual tuition at SZTE Bathory Istvan Practice Grammar and Primary School ranges from HUF 3,900,000 for 2026/27.

Application fees
- No separate application fee is listed on the IB application form for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme; the form requests personal and academic documents but does not specify a payable application charge.

Tuition fees (by programme / school year)
- IB Diploma Programme (self-funded cohort): HUF 3,900,000 per academic year for the 2026–2027 school year (annual amount). The school issues written payment deadlines and conditions to admitted students.
- Regular Általános iskola (primary) and Gimnázium (secondary) state programmes: there is no routine tuition charged to enrolled domestic students; charging of tuition (tandíj) is limited by the institution's rules and applies only in the specific cases defined by the school/university regulations (for example, certain foreign-resident situations). Any exceptions or special-category tuition requirements are determined under the institution's tuition/fee regulations.

Per-term / per-year breakdown
- The IB Diploma fee is stated as an annual amount (HUF 3,900,000 for 2026–2027). No per-term (semester) breakdown is published on the application form; the precise instalment schedule and due dates are provided in writing to admitted families.
- For state (non-fee-paying) year groups there is no published per-term tuition figure because regular instruction is provided without tuition for enrolled domestic students; costs for optional paid services (meals, extracurricular paid programmes, exams, trips) are billed separately.

Billing schedule and payment terms
- For the IB Diploma Programme, the school provides a written payment schedule and the specific payment conditions to each admitted student/family after admission. The annual tuition figure is published; instalment dates and any late-payment terms are issued with admission paperwork.
- School meal charges and other reimbursable/térítési díj items are organised on a monthly schedule prepared at the start of the school year; designated payment days are used for meal payments and the school credits pro rata amounts to the next month if pre-paid meals are cancelled in advance.
- Exam and procedural fees (language exams, etc.) have specified amounts and associated organisational fees and deadlines; the registration/payment system indicates the bank account or payment destination for each fee. Payment by cash or postal cheque is not accepted for those exam fees.

Boarding fees (kollégium)
- No boarding programme or boarding fees are listed for SZTE Báthory István Gyakorló Gimnázium és Általános Iskola; the school's publicly posted materials and institutional regulations do not show a school-run boarding/kollégium service or corresponding fees.

Other costs or fees (uniforms, textbooks, meals, extracurriculars, exams, trips, damage liability)
- Textbooks: Free textbook provision is organised under the national free textbook scheme; parents may be required to pay for individually ordered (non-covered) materials or to cover replacement/compensation costs for lost or excessively damaged school-issued books. The school's textbook distribution and liability rules explain parental responsibility for damage or loss.
- Meals: Meal (étkezési) charges are billed on a monthly schedule; families eligible for municipal child-protection support receive free school meals as specified by regulation. Lost meal tickets are not replaced; if a pupil does not use pre-paid meals and the parent cancels in time, the proportional amount is credited to the next monthly payment.
- Extracurricular and out-of-school programmes: Participation in programmes that carry a térítési díj (participation fee) is voluntary; such programme fees are invoiced separately and parents are not automatically liable beyond their explicit enrolment. The school's foundations and parent groups may provide financial support for competition entry fees, trips, and participation costs in assessed cases.
- Exams and certification fees: Language-exam fees and organisational fees are published for the school's exam centre (examples: B2 oral HUF 29,000; B2 written HUF 32,000; complex HUF 49,000) plus small organisation/scheduling fees. The exam registration system provides the exact account to which each fee must be paid.

Refund information
- Meals: If a parent cancels pre-paid meals in advance as required by the school, the unused portion of pre-paid meal fees is credited pro rata to the next monthly payment.
- Exams: The school's exam fee schedule shows specific administrative fees for late registration, cancellations, postponements and for partial withdrawals; those stated eljárási díjak apply in cases of late changes or cancellations.
- Tuition (IB / self-funded programmes): The admission documents indicate that the precise payment schedule and conditions (including any refund or cancellation terms) are issued in writing to admitted students; families receive the definitive billing and refund terms with admission paperwork.

Fee payment options and method notes
- Exam and procedural fees are handled through the school's registration/payment system; cash or postal cheque is not accepted for those exam fees and the system indicates the bank account to which payments must be made.
- The University supports electronic payment solutions for institutional fee collection (bank transfer and online bank-card payment options are used within SZTE's payment systems), and the university-level payment services are used for managing fee receipts where applicable. Specific payment channels and account details for each billed item (tuition instalments, meal fees, exam fees) are supplied with the relevant invoice or registration instruction.

If a precise instalment schedule, bank account number, or the IB programme's internal payment splits are required, those are issued to admitted families as part of the written admission/payment documentation (the IB application form publishes the annual tuition figure and states that payment deadlines and conditions follow in writing).
