What the platform offers
Manage your scholarship programme digitally
Your NGO can define its scholarship programmes, receive online applications and manage assessment according to its own scholarship rules. Scholarship decisions, quotas, amounts, continuation conditions and payments remain the responsibility of the relevant institution.
- Create multiple programmes with separate conditions, quotas and application periods.
- Filter, sort and export applications to Excel using 129 criteria, including educational, social and financial-need information.
- Review application forms, written responses and digital documents in the institution panel.
- Request additional documents or send interview invitations through the platform.
- Track scholarship-recipient information and progress.
Flexible use
Use the platform alongside your existing system
Can we keep using our own application system?
Yes. You may use bursverenler.org as support for your existing system and manage programmes and applications according to your institution’s needs.
Can an NGO create multiple scholarship programmes?
Yes. Each programme is defined independently; applications are received separately and assessed under the criteria set by your institution.
Must recipients be announced on the platform?
No. The relevant NGO decides the number of recipients and whether results are announced.
Can a scholarship be annual or one-off instead of monthly?
Yes. You may establish annual or one-off models, particularly for postgraduate or overseas study, and set a minimum donation amount for a specific programme.
Applications and documents
Manage application, document and interview processes from one screen
Applicants upload documents supporting information in their application form digitally. Authorised administrators can review forms and documents, request further information or documents, and request original documents where necessary.
- Check that documents and application information are consistent.
- Communicate with candidates on the platform and view the full communication history in one place.
- Send invitations for in-person or online interviews.
- Consider system ranking together with institutional criteria, document review and committee decisions.
- Use applicant data only for scholarship assessment, within your permission scope.
Donations and reporting
Receive donations and follow records and reports regularly
NGOs can receive credit-card donations through virtual POS for eligible scholarship programmes or institutional donation areas. Donations made with credit cards issued by Bonus member banks can be paid in up to 6 instalments.
Is there a donation service fee?
A 4% service fee is deducted from donations made through scholarship programmes. NGOs pay no additional or hidden platform-use fee.
How and when are donations transferred?
Total donations for the relevant period are transferred to the institution’s official donation account at the beginning of each month. Records and monthly reports can be followed through the institution panel.
How are we informed when a donation is made?
An automatic thank-you message is sent to the donor. The institution can also track the donation through email notifications and panel records.
Does bursverenler.org make scholarship payments?
No. Scholarship payments, payment schedules and continuation decisions are managed by the relevant NGO. bursverenler.org provides digital infrastructure for application, assessment, communication and tracking.
