Important distinction
Your profile and scholarship application form are different areas
This page explains your account profile: User information, your profile photo and account password are managed from the profile area. The scholarship application form containing education, family, income, scholarship and document information is a separate area.
To change the form information used for scholarship programs you applied to through bursverenler.org, review the Updating Your Scholarship Application Form guide.
Individual users
How do I update my profile information?
-
Log in to your account
Use the Member Login page to access your account with the email address and password you used when registering.
-
Tap or click your name in the upper-right corner
After logging in, open your name displayed in the upper-right area of the page. On a phone, this option may appear inside the account or user menu.
-
Open the user information or profile area
Review the information shown in your profile that the system allows you to edit. Update any information that is no longer current.
-
Add or change your profile photo
Use the upload or change option in the photo area to select a current photo. When the upload is complete, check that the preview appears correctly.
-
Save your changes
Review the information you edited and use the save button on the page. Before leaving, confirm the success message or check that the updated information is displayed.
Choosing a photo
Why is a profile photo important?
The profile photos of individual users and institution administrators may be visible to each other in messages sent through the platform. A current and recognizable photo makes it easier to understand who sent a message.
- Use a current photo in which your face is clear and easy to recognize.
- Make sure that only you appear in the photo and that the image is sharp.
- Avoid covering the image with unnecessary text, frames or heavy filters.
- After uploading, check that the photo is not rotated incorrectly or cropped inappropriately.
Check your internet connection and try again with a smaller image in a commonly used format. If the issue continues, contact us and include the device you are using and the error message displayed.
Account security
How do I change my password after logging in?
-
Open your name in the upper-right corner
After logging in, tap or click your name in the upper-right area of the page to open the user menu.
-
Open the change password option
Complete the current and new password fields displayed on the screen. Enter your new password in the confirmation field in exactly the same way.
-
Choose a strong and unique password
Choose a password that is difficult to guess and that you do not use for other accounts. After saving the change, use your new password the next time you log in.
Use the Forgot Password page instead of changing your password from the profile area. For detailed guidance, review the Login and Password Issues guide.
Institution administrators
How do I edit a profile in the Institution Management Panel?
-
Log in to the Institution Management Panel
Use the institution login page with the administrator account assigned to you on behalf of your institution.
-
Open the user or profile area from the left menu
Open the user information, profile or password option in the panel's left menu. Edit the information belonging to your own administrator account.
-
Update your photo or password
Make the required change in the relevant fields and save it. Use your own current photo so that applicants can identify which institution administrator sent a message.
Photo and password changes in this area are made from the profile of the authorized user who is logged in, not from the institution's general page.
Troubleshooting
If your changes are not saved
I selected save, but my information did not change
Check whether any required fields contain missing or invalid information. Complete the warnings shown on the page, save once more and refresh the page to verify the result.
I cannot edit some profile fields
Some fields affecting identity or account verification may not be editable by users. Do not create another account. Request support through the Contact Us page and identify the field that needs to be changed.
I want to change my application form, not my profile
Education, family, income, scholarship and document information is updated from the scholarship application form, not the profile page. Use the Updating Your Scholarship Application Form guide.
