a) AGU TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS*

AGU wants to put its students in the best possible position to succeed in their studies, by offering the following scholarship to the very best of its newly accepted first year students:

TUITION SCHOLARSHIPS   ̶ No Tuition fees will be charged for the entirety of the student's undergraduate studies at AGU (the $800 yearly tuition fee is fully waived and will be deducted from the original Fee Package)

Criteria for the selection of Scholarship awardees include:

• International Exams (e.g. SAT, ACT, GCE A-Levels, IB)
• High School results
• English Proficiency (TOEFL)
• Awards/Certificates
• Statement of Purpose

**Important Notes:

• These scholarships are awarded to Faculty students only and will cover the entire duration of the program
• Scholarship awardees are still required to pay the pre-registration deposit, which corresponds to their yearly housing fee within 7 days of acceptance to AGU in order to secure their position a the University.
• A scholarship will automatically be suspended if the awardee does not maintain his/her CGPA above 2.0.
• The decision to award scholarships is at the discretion of the AGU Foreign Student Examination Placement and Evaluation Commission.

b) AGU TOP ACHIEVER SCHOLARSHIP*

Every year, among AGU’s international student body, the undergraduate full Faculty student*** with the best CGPA (all years combined) will be awarded a full tuition scholarship**** for the the year following his/her achievement. This scholarship is to be renewed or awarded to another student based on each year’s CGPA results.

*Note: the decision to award any of these scholarship opportunities each year remains at the discretion of the Abdullah Gül University and the AGU International Student Selection Committee.

***Students having spent no time at the AGU School of Languages prior to starting their Faculty courses

****If the student with the best CGPA already benefits from a Tuition Scholarship from AGU, the Top Achiever Scholarship will be transferred to the student with the second highest CGPA result.
