Scholarships, automatic consideration and exceptions

How scholarships work at Koç

• Scholarship consideration is built into the admissions process; applicants do not complete a separate scholarship application.
• High-performing applicants (academic record, test scores, portfolio where relevant) can receive up to 75% tuition scholarship. Medicine is excluded from this arrangement.
• For thesis-based MS and PhD tracks, Koç University regularly offers 100% scholarships tied to research assistantships, teaching assistantships, or project funding.

Practical messaging points for recruiters and admissions staff

• Emphasize automatic scholarship consideration in outreach materials — this reduces friction and increases application completion rates.
• Flag Medicine as a tuition-exception early in communications to avoid later disappointment.
• For master’s candidates, actively target research-focused applicants for thesis-based programs and highlight the potential for full funding.

How international recruiters, admissions teams and agencies should use this information

Recruitment and pricing strategies

• Segment leads by budget sensitivity: present full tuition vs. scholarship scenarios to different segments.
• For premium, research-oriented candidates, stress Koç’s reputation and availability of 100% research scholarships in thesis tracks.
• For Medicine candidates, emphasize clinical quality and compare program features; suggest partner alternatives for candidates with budget or scholarship constraints.

Messaging framework for outreach

• Clear, transparent tuition figures up-front: include Undergraduate $38,000 and Medicine $29,000 in all pre-qualifiers.
• Early scholarship clarification: “Scholarships considered automatically — high performers may receive up to 75%” — a sentence that increases application intent.
• Call-to-action example: “Confirm if you meet scholarship thresholds” and link to your team’s eligibility checklist or to Study in Turkiye support.

Lead-to-offer conversion playbook

• Use an initial triage form that captures GPA, English proficiency, portfolio (if relevant), and funding constraints.
• Fast-track potential scholarship candidates for a bespoke admissions review.
• Apply process templates to reduce time-to-offer: standard scholarship condition templates, conditional offers, and scholarship letters.
