KTO Karatay University organizes the Online Scholarship Exam for International Students every year. The exam is for associate and bachelor degrees. Test takers just need a computer with an internet connection and they do not need to travel to Turkey to take the exam. The test is in 5 languages: Turkish, Arabic, Russian, French and English and fluency in Turkish language is not required. 

The scholarship is for the tuition fees only and test takers are entitled to recieve either 100%, 50% or %25 scholarships. Applications are open between February and September every year. Students who need a scholarship and meet the admission requirements are welcome to take the exam. Test takers should be ready for an online interview following the exam.

According to their test scores students who get 55 or over out of 100, are eligible to receive scholarships by their rankings within scholarship quotas per department. Students who are entitled to get a scholarship but do not submit the required documents in time along with the refundable enrollment fee (deposit) will not be allowed to register. Thus, the vacant quotas are given to other students who score above 55/100.
