SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Hello I’m Neşe DURUKAN. I am the department head of student affairs at Istanbul 29 Mayıs University. I want to shortly mention the scholarship opportunities our university provides for students. Istanbul 29 Mayıs University which was founded in 2010 by the Turkish Religion Ministry Foundation is truly a foundation university in which all our students are studying with either a full scholarship or part scholarship. The scholarships are 100%, 50% and 25%. Full scholarship students which are 100% continue their studies without any payment. They also benefit from ranging cash scholarships according to their ÖSYM rankings. They are allowed to stay at the university’s girls dormitory without paying any fee with breakfast and dinner included. Our students with a 50% or 25% scholarship can benefit from the education discount ranging from 100% to 15% considering their ÖSYM ranking success. These students are also allowed to stay in the girls or boys dormitory. The students are also able to obtain an extra 50% discount from their payment after their preparatory training according to a certain academic success. The scholarships of our students last for two semesters in preparatory school and 8 semesters in their undergraduate studies. The continuation of the scholarships depend on not getting a discipline punishment, obtaining the minimum success and continuity. For this reason, a student can earn their scholarship back if their commit to these rules. Our university offers double major programs and certificate in minor programs. Students wishing to double major or minor are evaluated according to their scholarship category. They are not required to pay an extra fee for double majors or minors. The additional time recognized for these programs are within the students’ scholarships. The higher education institute offers the students a chance for transferring starting from the second semester of the year they started with no condition considering their central allocation points. In our university students who transfer with the central allocation points are considered according to the minimal point scholarships of the program they applied to. So a full scholarship student who transfers can continue their education without any payment. Foreign students wishing to attend our university can download the 20 Mayıs YÖS (Foreign Students Exam) guide and apply online. I tried to inform you on our university’s scholarships and opportunities. If you would like to obtain more detailed information, you can visit our university or check out our candidate handbook online. We will be glad to host you at our university
