Step-by-Step Application Guide for Moroccan Applicants

1. Check Eligibility (Before You Begin)

Ensure the applicant meets at least one of Sabancı University’s accepted academic requirements:

• Moroccan applicants must be in their final year of Moroccan high school or hold a diploma equivalent to Turkiye’s high school graduation certificate (e.g., baccalauréat).
• Sabancı also accepts international qualifications such as SAT and IB where applicable.
• Confirm the specific accepted exams/diplomas for the chosen program before applying.

2. Prepare Required Documents (Digital Versions)

Collect clear, scanned (soft) copies of all documents. Incomplete or unclear documentation is the most common reason applications are delayed or rejected.

Required documents:

• Completed online application form (submitted through Sabancı’s portal).
• High school diploma (notarized translation if not in English or Turkish).
• Official high school transcript covering all courses and grades (signed/stamped by your school).
• Accepted exam/diploma results (baccalauréat, SAT, IB, etc.).
• Language test scores if available (TOEFL, IELTS) — or note that Sabancı provides an English proficiency exam upon arrival if needed.

Optional but recommended:

• Letter of motivation (strongly advised for competitive scholarship consideration).
• Two recommendation letters (if available).
• Certificates of extracurricular activities, competitions, internships.

3. Fill and Submit the Online Application Form

Best practices for completing the portal:

• Use a reliable internet connection and prepare all fields in advance.
• Provide accurate contact information — Sabancı communicates primarily by email.
• Indicate scholarship expectations clearly in the application if you want to be considered.
• You may apply to up to three different programs. Make choices strategically (e.g., two reach and one safety).

4. Pay the Application Fee

• A non‑refundable application fee of $30 USD is required.
• Payment is accepted via Visa or Mastercard online.
• Applications will not be reviewed until the application fee is paid—ensure payment is completed after submission.

5. Application Calendar — Important Dates (2025 Cycle)

• Opening date: January 15, 2025
• Early deadline: March 15, 2025
• Final deadline: August 29, 2025 (portal closes at 16:00 Turkish time)

Recommendation: submit early (before the early deadline) if aiming for scholarship consideration or fast review.

6. Program Quotas and Strategic Selection

Sabancı has limited seats per faculty—plan program choices accordingly:

• Engineering and Natural Sciences: 160 seats
• Arts and Social Sciences: 120 seats
• Management Programs: 120 seats

Tip for recruiters: monitor quotas and historic admission competitiveness to craft program recommendations that maximize chances.

7. After Submission — Review, Communication, and Registration

• Sabancı University reviews documents and will notify applicants by email. Encourage applicants to check the email they provided regularly (avoid university spam filters).
• If admitted, applicants must bring original documents for registration in Turkiye. Originals are required at onboarding.
• Keep applicants informed about next steps: visa application, accommodation options, and arrival orientation.

Practical Checklist for Moroccan Applicants

• Verify eligibility (final year or graduate with baccalauréat or equivalent).
• Scan and notarize translations where required.
• Complete online application form and upload all documents.
• Pay $30 USD application fee with Visa/Mastercard.
• Apply to a maximum of three programs.
• Submit before August 29, 2025 (or earlier for priority).
• Prepare originals for final registration in Turkiye.

Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

• Missing notarized translations: Plan for certified translation timelines and notarization in Morocco well before the deadline.
• Low quality scans: Provide clear, legible scans—blurry or cropped documents can lead to requests for resubmission.
• Unpaid fees: Double‑check payment receipts; incomplete payments halt review.
• Incomplete contact details: Ensure the email and phone number are correct and monitored.
