• Basis: Merit-based; awarded at the Scholarship Committee’s discretion with final decisions made by the university.

1. Scholarship types & coverage (detailed)

• Rates: 25% / 50% / 75% / 100% tuition waivers — always confirm the exact rate in the offer letter.

Where scholarship coverage does NOT apply

• Living expenses, accommodation, health insurance, visa fees, exam fees, and other non-tuition charges are excluded.
• Scholarships are not applied retroactively to currently enrolled students — they apply to new admissions for the specified semester/program.

2. Eligibility criteria — gatekeeping essentials

Use this eligibility checklist when screening candidates:

• Applicant must be a prospective international student (not already enrolled and not already accepted with a scholarship letter).
• Academic excellence: decisions are merit-based. High-achieving transcripts and diplomas strengthen candidacy.
• The university may require candidates to sit a scholarship exam or attend an interview — dates and details are announced officially.
• Candidates must comply with the Istanbul Ticaret University Scholarship Directive and any special conditions noted in the offer letter.
• Language requirements: English or Turkish proficiency certificates (if available) improve competitiveness.

3. Scholarship application process — step-by-step

Pre-application preparation

• Confirm applicant eligibility and gather primary documents (see next section).
• Advise students to create an accurate profile and use correct contact details — the university communicates offers and exam invitations via email and the applicant portal.

Submit application

• Applicants apply online via the university application portal. Scholarship consideration is typically included in the admissions review — no separate scholarship form is required unless specified.
• Monitor official announcements for scholarship exam/interview invites and deadlines.

Assessment

• Admissions and Scholarship Committees evaluate academic records, language proficiency, and performance in any scholarship exam or interview.
• Committee decisions are discretionary; strong supporting documents and timely responses increase chances.

Offer & acceptance

• Successful applicants receive an offer letter; scholarship details (rate, duration, conditions) will be specified.
• Acceptance frequently requires a deposit payment as detailed in the offer letter. Deposit proof may be required to finalize enrollment.

4. Required documents — checklist for upload

Prepare scanned PDFs/JPGs for fast, error-free submission. Use this checklist for undergraduate and postgraduate applications.

Undergraduate applicants

• High school diploma (translated and notarized if required)
• High school transcript
• Passport copy (ID page)
• Deposit payment receipt (as per offer letter)
• English/Turkish language certificate (if available)

Postgraduate applicants (Master’s / PhD)

• Bachelor’s / Master’s diploma (as applicable)
• Academic transcripts for each degree
• Passport copy

Additional notes: The university may announce program-specific requirements or additional documents for scholarship examinations. Ensure documents are accurate, legible, and in the prescribed format to avoid delays.

5. Key steps and timeline — practical workflow for teams

1. Prepare documents and confirm applicant eligibility.
2. Submit the online application well before the stated deadline.
3. Register for, and attend, any scholarship exam or interview if invited.
4. Await the committee decision. Offers are communicated via email and the portal.
5. Upon receiving an offer, submit the deposit and required acceptance documentation to secure the place.

Timing tip: Track announcement cycles and exam dates closely. Admissions teams should build reminders into CRM and outreach workflows to avoid missed opportunities.

6. Special conditions, warnings & compliance

• Scholarships apply only to new admits for the specified semester and are not retroactive.
• Scholarships may be revoked if awardees fail to meet academic or conduct standards in the Scholarship Directive.
• Scholarship terms (rate, duration, renewal rules) can change each semester — always verify the offer letter and official announcements.
