How it works

What a scholarship really means

Universities publish scholarship ladders in steps of 25%, 50%, 75% and sometimes 100%. Your results, how early you apply, what you study and how you apply all decide your band. A 100% place is a separate, limited allocation with a one-off payment — not free tuition. Government scholarships such as Türkiye Bursları are awarded by the state, once a year, and cannot be bought from anyone.
