About the scholarship

The Sabanci University Scholarship 2027 supports international students admitted to Sabancı University in Istanbul, Türkiye — a private research university whose programmes run entirely in English. Awards cover Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD study across engineering and natural sciences, arts and social sciences, and the Sabancı Business School.

There is no separate scholarship application: every international applicant who meets the admission requirements is automatically evaluated by the Scholarship Committee. Awards are limited and competition is keen — early applicants get priority consideration.

Eligibility

  • International student from any country, applying for Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD admission.
  • Meet the academic admission requirements of the chosen programme.
  • Selection is merit-based: academic background, transcripts, exam scores, reference letters, interview results and evidence of achievement (competition prizes, Olympiad certificates).
  • English proficiency (e.g. TOEFL iBT) unless exempted by institutional criteria.

Benefits

  • Full tuition fee waiver for the regular duration of study.
  • Monthly stipend (reported: 2,500 TL/month for 10 months for Master’s; 3,000 TL/month for 12 months for PhD).
  • Dormitory accommodation for dormitory-scholarship recipients.
  • Scholarship continues for the regular education period once awarded.
Read the fine print: per the university’s own FAQ, the admission scholarship is a tuition waiver — a dormitory scholarship covers only a 4-person room, and meals and personal expenses are not included. Award levels vary by candidate.
