Financial planning beyond tuition — living costs, scholarships and payment structures
Living cost considerations (Istanbul-focused guidance)
While tuition is often the largest single cost, living expenses vary by lifestyle and accommodation choice. Provide prospective students with conservative estimates and include these in packaged offers.
- Student housing (shared flat or student dorm): $150–$600/month
- Food and groceries: $100–$300/month
- Local transport: $20–$60/month
- Mobile and internet: $10–$30/month
- Miscellaneous (books, personal): $50–$150/month
Annual living budget (conservative): $3,000–$9,000 depending on housing and lifestyle choices. Always localize estimates based on campus location and student profile.
Scholarships and tuition reductions
- BAU and many partner universities offer merit-based scholarships, international student grants and early-deposit discounts. Admissions teams should request the current BAU scholarship matrix at the time of application.
- As a recruiter or agent, maintain a dynamic scholarship table in your CRM to show net cost after discounts — this increases conversion.
Payment structures and invoicing best practices
- Offer clear payment plan options: deposit + installments, term-basis invoices, or full-payment discounts.
- Clarify currency for invoicing and whether bank fees apply.
- For programs with dual-currency fees (e.g., Pilotage), show both components separately and provide conversion guidance.
