Scholarship types and what they cover

Istanbul Ticaret University provides tiered tuition scholarships for international applicants to English‑medium programs. These awards are structured to support internationalisation and to attract high‑calibre applicants.

• Scholarship rates: 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% tuition waivers.
• Coverage: Scholarships cover university tuition fees only. They do not include accommodation, living costs, travel, or other non‑tuition expenses.
• Availability: Allocation and quotas vary by semester and are determined by university administration and the Admissions Committee.

Budget planning for prospective students must separate tuition (which may be partially or fully waived) from living and travel costs.

Why this matters for recruiters and admissions teams

• Use scholarship tiers to target messaging (merit‑based full offers vs. partial incentives).
• Prepare clear cost breakdowns so applicants understand tuition coverage versus out‑of‑pocket living expenses.

Eligibility — who can apply

Key eligibility rules and practical implications for recruitment workflows.

• New applicants only: Only applicants who have not yet been accepted for the relevant semester are eligible for scholarship consideration. Current students and applicants who already hold an acceptance letter for that semester are not eligible.
• Admissions Committee: Awards are evaluated and approved by the Admissions Committee; offers may carry conditions.
• Conditional and revocable: Scholarship offers can be rescinded if students fail to meet continuation requirements (e.g., minimum GPA, conduct or attendance directives).

Practical implications

• Target recruitment activity to prospective students before admission decisions are issued.
• Coordinate internal schedules so scholarship assessments are completed prior to final offers.
