The Eastern Mediterranean University Scholarships seek to equip students with a high-level academic background and the necessary skills to be competent in the academic world, industry, or the service sector. The 2025 Eastern Mediterranean University Scholarship offers partial and full scholarships to international Master’s and PhD applicants seeking to study in Turkey.
For undergraduate students, EMU offers various scholarship opportunities, including full and partial tuition scholarships. These scholarships are awarded based on academic merit, and applicants with exceptional academic achievements are given priority. The goal is to recognize students with strong academic potential and help them focus on their studies by alleviating financial pressures. Scholarships can cover up to 100% of the tuition fees, depending on the student’s academic performance and specific program requirements.
At the graduate level, EMU provides scholarships for master’s and PhD students, particularly those who demonstrate strong academic backgrounds and research potential. These scholarships may cover full or partial tuition fees and, in some cases, provide additional support for research projects or teaching assistantships. Graduate scholarships are often awarded based on the academic excellence of the applicant, research proposals, and the alignment of their work with the university’s research priorities.
EMU’s scholarship program is not just about financial support; it is also designed to foster an inclusive and supportive academic environment. Scholarship recipients are encouraged to excel academically and participate in extracurricular activities, including research projects, internships, and community service initiatives. This holistic approach helps students grow not only as scholars but also as well-rounded individuals who can contribute positively to society.
In addition to merit-based scholarships, EMU offers a variety of financial aid options for students facing financial hardship. These need-based scholarships are designed to ensure that students who may not have the financial means to cover the full cost of their education can still access high-quality academic programs at the university. EMU is committed to creating opportunities for students from all economic backgrounds to benefit from its world-class education.
