Graduate Scholarships

Almost all students admitted to Sabancı University's academic graduate programs (except professional non-thesis graduate programs) are either totally or partially exempted from annual tuition fees.

Postgraduate study scholarships are evaluated at the time of admission to the program. The status of the students who will be awarded a scholarship is decided by the relevant Board of Graduate School upon the recommendation of the Admissions Jury based on the student’s academic history. The continuity of the scholarship depends on the decision of the Graduate School based on academic success.

Scholarship opportunities valid as of January 2024 for Sabancı University master and doctorate programs are listed below.
 

Sabancı University’s “Full Scholarship” is based on academic achievement.
