Our story

Built by people who
made this journey.

Orbuni started the way most good things do — because something was broken. Students in our community were paying agents hundreds of thousands of naira for admissions that never arrived. Families were sending money to strangers. Good students were staying home.

We had done the journey ourselves. We knew which universities actually admit, which scholarships are real, and which agents disappear once the transfer clears. So we built the agency we wished had existed when we were the ones applying.

Today Orbuni publishes what others hide — the real fee, the real scholarship band, and the honest answer about whether you can win it.

The team behind your file

Every student is assigned one named counsellor from first call to first day of class.

A note from the founder
Education is the one sector that will never die. There will always be a student somewhere with a dream and no map. I have been that student.

I did not come to this from the outside. I have watched this process go wrong for years — for people I know, in my own family, and for myself. I know exactly where it breaks, because I have stood in every one of those places.

Orbuni exists so the next student does not have to guess. So the fee is written down before they pay it. So somebody answers the phone. So a missing translation does not cost them a year of their life.

I want this to become one of the platforms students recommend to each other — in Lagos, in Accra, in Nairobi, anywhere — not because we marketed at them, but because we actually got them there. That is the whole ambition, and we are only at the beginning of it.

Every student has a right to dream.
Nurudeen Muh. Abdulkareem Founder & Managing Director, Orbuni
How we got here

Our story so far

THE PROBLEM

We watched it happen

Friends and family paying agents up front, then waiting months for an admission that never came. No receipts, no accountability, no way to check whether the agency was even real.

THE DECISION

Become the partner, not the middleman

We went and got accredited recruitment partnerships directly with universities, so applications go through the official agent channel — faster review, better scholarship consideration, and a paper trail for every submission.

THE RULE

No fee until you are admitted

We decided the student would never pay before there was an admission letter in their hand. It costs us more upfront. It is also the only honest way to do this.

NOW

Publishing what others hide

Real fees, real scholarship ladders, real students on the ground who help new arrivals with housing before they even land.

NEXT

Every partner university, fully verified

Fee tables confirmed programme by programme, so no student is ever quoted a number that changes later.

We are hiring

About Orbuni

The consultancy that
tells you the number.

Students in our market have been burned repeatedly — deposits taken for admissions that never came, fees quoted verbally then changed, agents who stopped answering once the transfer cleared. Orbuni is built to be the opposite: published fees, a published process, and a named human on the other end.

So let us start with what we are, before you read anything else.

Orbuni is two people — Nurudeen Muhammad Abdulkareem and Godfrey Emmanuel Wudaba — working from Istanbul as a verified partner of AskUni, the university application platform that holds our access to these universities. We are not a large firm with offices in six countries, and we are not separately incorporated as a company.

We tell you that on purpose. An agency that is vague about what it actually is, is exactly the thing this page exists to help you avoid. Everything below tells you what that means for your money, your documents and your application.

🤝

We apply through the official channel

Applications go through AskUni's partner channel rather than a public form, which is how we can see live fees and scholarship bands and quote you an exact figure.

🧾

Tuition is paid to the university

Your tuition is the university's money, not ours. You get the receipt and the reference number, and so does whoever is sponsoring you.

🏠

We do not stop at admission

Visa file, accommodation before you fly, airport pickup, and people already in your city.

What we charge, and when.

We charge one fee, once. Not every year, not per application, and not a percentage of anything. You are told exactly what it is, in writing, before you commit to anything. It covers choosing your universities, preparing and submitting the application, checking your documents, chasing the acceptance letter, your student visa support, and getting you settled when you land.

We are paid the same whichever university you choose. No university pays us more to send you there, so nobody here has a reason to steer you.

The work does not stop at the offer letter. A student who never gets a visa, never boards a plane, or arrives with nowhere to sleep is a student we failed — and we are the ones who carry that.

What we will do
  • Tell you the real fee, from the university's own published figures
  • Tell you honestly when your grades will not win the band you want
  • Show you the university's own paperwork before you pay anything
  • Answer you, including when the answer is bad news
What we will never do
  • Guarantee admission. The university decides, not us.
  • Guarantee a visa. The consulate decides, not us.
  • Promise a full scholarship we have not confirmed in writing
  • Ask you to send a passport or a document over WhatsApp
  • Take your tuition into a personal account
Terms of service

Terms of service

Version 1 · 27 August 2026 · applies to myorbuni.com and to anyone we work with

In one paragraph.

Orbuni helps you choose a university, applies for you, and supports you through your visa and arrival. We charge one fee, once, and you know what it is before you commit. We cannot promise you admission or a visa, because neither decision is ours. Everything below says the same thing more carefully.

1. Who you are dealing with

Orbuni ("we", "us") is a partnership between Nurudeen Muhammad Abdulkareem and Godfrey Emmanuel Wudaba, operating from Istanbul, Türkiye, and trading as Orbuni at myorbuni.com.

Orbuni is not a separately incorporated company. We are a verified partner of AskUni, the university application platform through which we hold access to the universities listed on this site. AskUni is a separate business; our partnership with them does not make us part of their company, and they are not responsible for our conduct or ours for theirs. If you need to raise something formally, raise it with us, at the address in section 12.

2. What we actually do

  • Help you choose universities and programmes you are realistically eligible for
  • Prepare and submit your application through the partner channel
  • Check your documents and tell you what is missing or wrong
  • Follow up your acceptance letter with the university
  • Support your student visa application — preparing the file, not deciding it
  • Help with accommodation, arrival and settling in

3. What we cannot do, and will not pretend to

  • We cannot guarantee admission. Universities decide who they admit. We can tell you what your chances honestly look like; we cannot change the answer.
  • We cannot guarantee a visa. That decision belongs to the Turkish consulate, or the relevant consulate for your destination. A refusal is not a failure of this service.
  • We cannot guarantee a scholarship band beyond one already confirmed in writing by the university for you specifically.
  • We do not control university fees. Universities review tuition annually and may change it. Where a fee is shown on this site, it is the figure published at the date shown.

4. Our fee

Applying is free. Our service fee — Standard $800, Plus $1,650 or Premier $2,650 (Premier can be paid in two parts) — is charged once, only after a university sends you an offer letter. It is the same whichever university you choose, so nobody here earns more by steering you somewhere. Before you pay, you read and accept our Student Service Agreement, which sets out exactly what each package includes.

Where this site advertises a 100% scholarship place, the single price shown on that page is the whole amount you pay for that place, our own fee included. There is nothing further to pay for tuition on that programme. That price is fixed at the moment your place is confirmed.

5. Money, and who holds it

  • Tuition is the university's money. It is paid to the university, and you receive the university's own receipt and reference number.
  • We will never ask you to pay tuition into a personal bank account. If anyone claiming to represent Orbuni ever asks you to, it is not us. Stop, and contact us at the address below.
  • You see the paperwork before you pay. Before any deposit, we send you the university's own official confirmation showing the exact amount due, so you can check it yourself and, if you want, verify it with the university directly.
  • Payments to third parties — universities, consulates, translators, insurers — are governed by those parties' own terms, not ours.

6. Refunds

  • Our team works for you from the day you pay, so the service fee is never refunded in full. When a refund is due, you get back 10% on Standard, 20% on Plus and 30–40% on Premier (set from the Premier services already delivered).
  • A refund is due if Orbuni cannot complete the service — for example your visa is refused — or if you stop before it is complete. If your visa is refused you may instead carry your service over to the next intake at no extra fee.
  • Extra services (such as airport pickup) are refunded in full if cancelled at least 48 hours before the booked time.
  • Once the service you paid for has been delivered, the fee is not refundable.
  • Tuition, deposits and university fees are refundable only on that university's own terms. We will tell you what those are before you pay, and we will help you claim.
  • The full rules are in the Student Service Agreement.

7. What we need from you

Your documents must be genuine and your information true. A forged or altered document is the fastest way to lose both an admission and a visa, and it can carry a re-entry ban. If we find one, we will stop work immediately and keep no fee for work not yet done.

You are responsible for replying to us in time. Deadlines on this site are the universities' deadlines, and we cannot extend them.

8. Your account and this website

Keep your password to yourself. Tell us at once if you think someone else has your account. We may suspend an account being used to abuse the service or other people.

The programme and fee information on this site comes from the universities and from the partner network, and is shown with the date it was confirmed. We check it, but we do not author it, and universities occasionally change a figure without notice. The figure that binds is the one on the university's own offer letter.

9. Partner agencies

Agencies that refer students to us do so under a separate agreement. A partner agency can see the students it referred and the status of their applications. A partner agency cannot see a student's documents — not passports, not transcripts, not anything uploaded to a student's file.

10. Complaints

Tell us. Write to hello@myorbuni.com and put "Complaint" in the subject. We will reply within five working days, in writing, including when the answer is that we disagree with you.

11. Liability, in plain words

We are liable for our own work — for failing to submit an application we were paid to submit, for losing your documents, for telling you something we knew to be untrue. We are not liable for decisions made by universities, consulates, airlines, landlords or banks, nor for losses we could not reasonably have foreseen. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

12. Contact, and the law that applies

Orbuni · Istanbul, Türkiye · hello@myorbuni.com

These terms are governed by Turkish law. This does not remove any protection you have under the consumer law of the country you live in.

An honest note about this page. These terms describe accurately how Orbuni works. They have not yet been reviewed by a lawyer, and they will be before we take on volume. If anything here is unclear, ask us rather than guessing — we would rather answer than have you assume.
Privacy

What we do with your documents

Version 1 · 27 August 2026

In one paragraph.

To apply to a university for you we need real documents — your passport, your results, your photograph. We keep them in an encrypted database in Europe, we send them only to the university you are applying to, we never sell them, we never put them on WhatsApp, and you can ask us to delete them.

What we collect, and why

WhatWhy we need it
Name, email, phone or WhatsApp number, countryTo create your account and to reach you
Date and place of birth, nationality, address, parents' namesUniversities require these on the application form
Passport data page, number and expiryRequired by the university and by the consulate for your visa
PhotographRequired on the application and on your student file
Certificates, transcripts, English test resultsTo prove eligibility and to set your scholarship band
Budget, sponsor, emergency contactTo advise you honestly and to reach someone if you are in trouble
CV and cover note, if you apply for a job with usTo consider your application only

We ask for nothing we do not need. If you think we have asked for something that is not on this list, challenge us.

Who sees it

  • You, at any time, in your portal.
  • Your named counsellor, and the two founders.
  • The university you are applying to, and AskUni as the platform the application goes through — this is the whole point of giving them to us.
  • The consulate, when your visa file is submitted.

That is the complete list. We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising. A partner agency that referred you can see that you exist and how your application is going — it cannot see a single one of your documents. That is enforced by the database itself, not by a policy someone might forget.

Where it lives

In an encrypted PostgreSQL database and private file storage operated by Supabase, hosted in the European Union (Frankfurt). Files are encrypted at rest. Access is by signed, expiring links rather than public URLs, and every access is logged.

We do not send your documents over WhatsApp. WhatsApp is fine for talking to us. It is not where a passport belongs, and we will always ask you to upload it to your portal instead.

How long we keep it

  • While your application is live, and for as long as you have an account with us.
  • If you stop using us: tell us and we will delete your file. If we hear nothing, we delete student documents two years after your last application.
  • Job applications and CVs: twelve months, then deleted.
  • We may keep a minimal record of who applied where, for as long as we need it to answer a question about a past application.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you what we hold, correct it, delete it, or send it to you in a portable form. Write to privacy@myorbuni.com and we will answer within 30 days.

  • Nigeria — the Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 gives you these rights, and the Nigeria Data Protection Commission (NDPC) supervises them.
  • Türkiye — the Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK, Law No. 6698) applies to us as we operate here.
  • If you are in the EU or UK — the GDPR applies to your data, and our storage is already inside the EU.

We will never charge you to exercise any of these, and we will never make you explain why.

Children

If you are under 18, a parent or guardian must be involved in your application, and we will ask to speak to them.

Cookies

This site sets no advertising or tracking cookies. Your browser stores your sign-in so you stay signed in, and remembers small things like whether you muted the welcome sound. That is all, and it stays on your device.

If something goes wrong

If your data is ever exposed, we will tell you — what happened, what was affected and what we are doing — without waiting to be asked, and we will notify the regulator where the law requires it.

Questions

Before you start

Do I pay anything to apply?

No. Creating your account, choosing programmes and applying are free. The service fee is paid only after a university sends you an offer letter.

Is a 100% scholarship free?

No, and any agency that says so without showing a price is not being straight with you. A 100% scholarship place has one payment that secures it; we print that number in full.

Do you get my visa for me?

No one can promise a visa. We guide you on what to prepare, and Premier connects you with a trusted visa agent in your own country. Government fees are always paid by you.

Can I pay in two parts?

Yes, Premier can be paid in two parts: $1,325 now and $1,325 thirty days later, taken automatically. Then it stops.

What if my visa is refused?

You choose. Take the refund for your package — 10% on Standard, 20% on Plus, 30–40% on Premier — or keep your file open and we carry your service over to the next intake at no extra fee. It is all written in the Student Service Agreement.

Can someone pick me up from the airport?

Yes. Plus and Premier include airport pickup. On Standard you can add it from your portal for $150, or an escort from the airport to your university for registration for $200 — you choose the date and pay on the same page.

Where do I pay, and is it safe?

Right here on Orbuni. The payment form is Whop's secure checkout, opened inside our page — card, bank transfer and local methods such as Nigerian cards, bank transfer and USSD. Before you pay you read and accept our Student Service Agreement.

What happens with my answers?

They go to your Orbuni counsellor so they can advise you, and nowhere else. You can ask us to delete them at any time — see our privacy notice.

Two minutes. An honest answer.

No trick questions and no hard sell.

Course terms

For the Scholarship Masterclass and the Partner Growth Program

100% scholarships · Istanbul · 2026 intake

Pay once.
Tuition covered.

A 100% scholarship covers your tuition for the whole programme. You make one payment to secure it and then pay no tuition again — no yearly bills, no top-ups. The number on each card below is the whole number, including everything Orbuni does for you.

ℹ️
Read this before the numbers. A 100% scholarship is not the same as free. There is one payment to secure it, and it is printed in full on every card — nothing is added afterwards. If any agency shows you a “100% scholarship” without showing you what you pay, close the tab.

Places are limited and are taken as applications arrive. If the subject you want is not listed, ask us anyway — the list changes every few weeks.

Why one payment usually wins

A yearly fee is only this year's fee

Universities review tuition every year. Where a card shows what the ordinary route would cost, that figure assumes today's rate holds for the whole degree — in practice it usually rises. A scholarship place is fixed at the moment you take it.

If you cannot raise the whole amount now, applying the ordinary way is the honest answer, and we will help you do that instead. Nobody at Orbuni is paid more for pushing you either way — and we will tell you when a scholarship place is not worth it for you.
