Ibn Haldun University International Scholarships (Turkey)

Ibn Haldun University in Istanbul awards full scholarships to top international applicants covering tuition, dormitory housing and a monthly stipend, with partial tiers from 25 percent upward for strong candidates below the top line. The university specializes in social sciences and humanities with a trilingual English-Turkish-Arabic model and deliberately international classes.

Applications run in cycles through the year on the university’s portal, with scholarship tiers assigned automatically from admission ranking. For students seeking a funded route into Turkey outside the giant Türkiye Burslari competition, it is one of the strongest private-university options.
