Scope: Covers full tuition for the standard program duration.

Eligibility pathways: Students placed in designated full scholarship quotas (central placement) or winners of special talent exams.

Additional coverage: Foundation English preparatory courses are included when required; participation in summer school or double major/minor programs is also accommodated within the scholarship period.

Messaging tip: Position full scholarships as a rare but high-impact offering for exceptional candidates — ideal for top-performing high school graduates and selected talents.

Common bands: 75% and 50% tuition reductions are offered broadly; other proportional awards depend on departmental recommendations.

Ancillary discounts: Sibling discounts (~10%) and recognition-based concessions (e.g., IB and British A-levels) are available.

Messaging tip: Use partial scholarships to convert highly qualified but budget-conscious students — emphasize the net tuition and outcomes.

For continuing students: After completing four semesters, top-ranked students by cohort may receive full tuition or substantial reductions (for example, ~50%), based on GPA and academic performance.

For postgraduate entry: Graduate applicants are typically expected to meet minimum undergraduate GPA thresholds (commonly around 2.3/4.0) to be eligible for merit awards.

Messaging tip: Communicate the pathway from entry scholarships to ongoing merit recognition to motivate performance and retention.

Eligibility: High scores on recognized English tests (example thresholds commonly used: TOEFL 96+, YDS/YÖKDİL 80+, BAU English proficiency exam 80+).

Coverage: 10% tuition reduction applicable to undergraduate and graduate programs (including some Turkish-medium programs if criteria are met).

Messaging tip: Target applicants who already have strong English credentials — this is a fast convert for testers and international school leavers.

IBDP: Diploma scores of 36–40 yield a 10% scholarship; scores 40+ may yield 15%.

A-levels: Three A-levels at grade A — 5% scholarship; four A-levels at grade A — 10%.

Messaging tip: When recruiting from IB or A-level schools, embed these recognitions into your campaign copy and application support materials.

Alumni benefit: BAU graduates enrolling in master’s programs who are members of the Alumni Association may receive up to 50% tuition scholarships for one program.

Messaging tip: Use alumni pathways as a retention and cross-sell tool; admissions and alumni relations teams can coordinate to increase master’s enrolment.

• Living costs and housing: Generally not covered by BAU tuition scholarships. Applicants must budget separately for accommodation, subsistence, travel, and health insurance.
• Definitive rates: Scholarship amounts and conditions vary by department and program; the definitive scholarship rate is always the amount stated in the official offer letter.
• Early application: Early application increases access to high-value quotas.

• Verify applicant eligibility for the target program (academic prerequisites, language requirements).
• Prepare scanned, certified copies of academic transcripts, diplomas, and curriculum details.
• Request evidence of English language proficiency where applicable (TOEFL, IELTS, BAU exam, or equivalent).

• Submit the complete application through the Apply BAU portal. Scholarships are not granted retroactively — applicants must be evaluated at the time of admission.
• Ensure supporting documents are uploaded and clearly labelled (transcripts, diplomas, test scores, personal statement, portfolio if required).

• Review the offer letter carefully: scholarship details, duration, renewal conditions, and any performance requirements will be specified.
• Confirm acceptance and follow BAU’s payment and enrolment instructions to secure the scholarship place.

• Provide certified grade translations and WES-style equivalence if transcripts are in unfamiliar formats.
• For talent-based scholarships, include portfolios, audition recordings, or competition certificates.
• For IB/A-level candidates, include final predicted or completed scores and school reference letters.

• Full scholarships: Use high-touch recruitment funnels (personalised emails, direct calls, scholarship webinars).
• Partial and proficiency scholarships: Deploy program-specific landing pages and automated qualification checkers.

• Prioritise leads with strong academic profiles, test scores meeting proficiency thresholds, and early application behavior.
• Automate pre-qualification using Study in Turkiye’s recruitment tools to route high-potential applicants to admissions officers quickly.

• Provide clear guides for documentation and deadlines. Emphasise that scholarship confirmation is made only in the formal offer letter.
• Encourage agents to highlight BAU’s English-medium programs and the potential pathway to merit awards after two years.
