Key payment and deposit rules

• Installments: Fees can be paid in two installments each academic year — at registration (first installment with deposit deducted) and the second installment by January 31.
• Deposits: Programs with annual fees below 10,000 USD require a 1,000 USD deposit; programs above 10,000 USD require a 5,000 USD deposit.
• Advance payment discounts: Available for select programs (example: Medicine-English discounted to 20,425 USD if paid in advance).

Scholarships and discounts

• Merit-based and need-based scholarships are available, with some applicants eligible for up to 100% tuition coverage.
• Advance-payment discounts and targeted scholarships for international students often reduce effective cost substantially. Admissions teams should check current scholarship bands for each application.

What these fees mean for recruiters, admissions teams and partners

Prioritise clarity in your marketing and counselling materials

• Present both English- and Turkish-medium fees side-by-side; many applicants assume one price fits all.
• Always highlight program duration (Medicine 6 years, Dentistry 5 years, Pharmacy 5 years, most other bachelor’s 4 years) so families can calculate lifetime cost.
• Where possible, show a “total program cost” example (e.g., Medicine-English: 21,500 USD x 6 years = 129,000 USD before scholarships/discounts) to avoid surprises.

Use payment plan options as a conversion lever

• Emphasise two-installment flexibility and deposit amounts to reduce enrolment friction.
• For high-fee programs (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy), promote advance-payment discounts and scholarship opportunities early in the funnel to increase application completion rates.

Train counsellors on scholarships and eligibility

• Ensure counsellors know the scholarship tiers: merit-based, need-based, and early-payment discounts.
• Prepare scripts and application checklists for each scholarship type to speed up document collection and decision-making.

Tactical guidance — how to present Okan fee data in recruitment campaigns

Messaging to international students

• Lead with program outcomes and clinical/training strengths, then present tuition as a transparent, itemised section.
• Use comparative positioning: show how Okan’s fees compare with other Turkiye private universities in similar specialties (highlighting value: modern facilities, international instruction, clinical access).

Messaging to agents and institutional partners

• Provide one-page fee cards per program with deposit, installment dates and scholarship thresholds.
• Offer a cost calculator (example: total duration x annual fee – scholarship – advance discount) to speed student decision-making.
• Include clear next steps: deposit deadlines, admission document list, English/Turkish language requirements and visa timeline.

Operational checklist for admissions teams and HR

Before the cycle opens

• Update your CRM with the latest 2025–2026 fees and scholarship bands.
• Create a standard offer letter template that automatically inserts program fee, deposit amount, payment deadlines and scholarship awards — automation reduces errors and accelerates response times.
• Create language-specific FAQs (English and Turkish) for web pages and chatbots.

During recruitment and conversion

• Use automated reminders for deposit deadlines and installment dates.
• Track outstanding deposits and create escalation workflows for admissions officers to follow up directly.
• Offer webinar sessions that explain fees, living costs and scholarship options — record and repurpose content for agent training.

Comparative context — medicine and allied health in Turkiye’s private universities

When counselling medical applicants, it’s useful to show alternatives and the relative pricing dynamics within Turkiye’s private university network. Two institutions commonly considered alongside Okan for medical programs are:

• Istanbul Medipol University — an established private medical faculty and frequent comparison point for international applicants.
• Istinye University — known for its health sciences programs and international student offerings.

For engineering, architecture and business enquiries, include references to Ozyegin University to demonstrate alternatives and value positioning.

Practical examples recruiters can use — scripts, calculators and offer templates

Sample cost summary for a prospective Medicine-English student

• Annual tuition: 21,500 USD
• Duration: 6 years
• Deposit at registration: 5,000 USD (deducted from first installment)
• Example advance payment discounted annual tuition: 20,425 USD (if eligible)
• Estimated program total (no scholarship): 129,000 USD (before discounts)

Recruitment tip: Offer a scholarship screening call and an installment timeline to move applicants from interest to paid deposit within 10–14 days.

Offer letter template elements (must include)

• Precise program name and language of instruction
• Annual tuition and total program cost estimate
• Deposit amount and deadline (with bank details/reference)
• Installment schedule (first at registration, second by January 31)
• Scholarship status and conditions (if awarded)
