Funding and Scholarship

  • All graduate students in the Department of Philosophy receive a full tuition waiver (i.e. there are no tuition costs), private health insurance, monthly stipend and discounted campus housing (25% for MA students and 50% for PhD students), conditional upon ongoing success in the program.
  • In addition to the above, PhD students receive monthly meal tickets and are eligible to receive funding for trips to present at one international conference each academic year.
  • Our graduate students are also eligible for funding from TÜBİTAK (e.g. BİBEB). Bilkent’s funding package remains unaltered (i.e. not reduced) if a student is simultaneously receiving a TÜBİTAK scholarship. 
  • Admission to the MA and PhD programs is highly competitive.
