Paying for tuition with crypto

Hi,

as @katerinaramm is promoting a lot of education in crypto, by accredited or known institution, like the one by the University of Nicosia, on NFTs, where details can be read [here](https://leofinance.io/@katerinaramm/free-to-attend-mooc-introduction-to-nfts-and-the-metaverse), I was wondering if we can pay with crypto on some of them.

Teach what you preach is one guideline that I like to follow, I tried to see which schools accept crypto for tuition.

No wonder, that the University of Nicosia, which offers a lot of free MOOCs, was the first to accept in 2013 tuition fees in crypto.

After checking some, I was surprised that many European universities are accepting payments in crypto, mostly BTC like, The European School of Management and Technology in Berlin, or University of Cumbria in Carlisle.

There are also some good examples for the USA, like King's College in New York or better ranked Bentley University in Massachusetts.

We also have a famous Ivy League School, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, which has some famous alumni, like Elon Musk and Warren Buffett, that accepts crypto for its tuition fees.

Like said, most accept BTC, where I found one university in Romania, "Lucian Blaga" University in Sibiu, that accepts the *local* crypto, Elrond (EGLD).

I could not find a similar institution in Africa, Asia, or Australia. If you know such cases, please list the below.
