Understand how scholarship applications are assessed

Applications are supported by digital tools, while the final scholarship decision is made by the relevant scholarship-providing institution.

Process overview

Each programme is assessed using its own criteria

The scholarship-providing institution defines the requirements and assessment approach for its programme. bursverenler.org provides infrastructure that helps manage application and assessment processes digitally.

  1. Application information enters the system

    The application form and requested documents are created using information completed by the applicant.

  2. A preliminary assessment is performed

    The system may generate an automatic and objective preliminary assessment score using criteria defined for the programme.

  3. The institution reviews the application

    The relevant institution reviews application information, documents and, where required, further assessment steps in line with its programme.

  4. A final decision is made

    The final decision about awarding, continuing or concluding a scholarship belongs to the relevant scholarship-providing institution.

Automatic and objective preliminary assessment

The system score is a tool that supports consistent ordering

The system may process information entered in the application form using the criteria defined for the programme. The preliminary assessment score helps applications be ordered more consistently and objectively.

Does a high preliminary score mean I have received a scholarship?

No. The preliminary score is a support tool. The final decision is made by the institution at the end of its own assessment process.

Does the system score vary according to the person reviewing it?

The score is generated automatically when the programme’s defined criteria are applied to the application information. It is therefore important to enter accurate and current information.

Can the institution assess an application beyond this score?

Yes. The institution may request documents or an interview, or apply other assessment steps according to its programme rules.

Institutional review and decision

The institution that owns the programme has the authority to make the final decision

  • The institution assesses eligibility against its own criteria.
  • It may request additional information, documents or an interview when necessary.
  • The results timetable and announcement method can vary by programme.
  • Follow current information through the programme page, your account and institutional announcements.
The platform does not decide in place of the institution

bursverenler.org cannot change an institution’s criteria, assessment, result date or final scholarship decision.
