BiH & Balkan Scholarships Turkish Students (YKS)

Scholarship Maintenance (for Bachelor)

Scholarships awarded for undergraduate degrees are assured for a period of five (5) years, regardless of students' academic success. The exception from this rule are students on 100% scholarship, who must maintain minimum level of CGPA at 3.00. Once CGPA decreases below 3.00, scholarship is reduced to 75% and kept as such for the remaining period. If a student did not manage to graduate within five years of full-time studying, the amount that the student will have to pay and the scholarship amount that the student gets will be defined by the Foundation.
