QUESTION: How many times can I benefit from the Farabi exchange program? 
ANSWER: Students can participate in the Farabi Exchange Program exchange once at each level of education. However, a student can be a Farabi Exchange Program student with scholarship only once and for one semester during his/her education life.

QUESTION: When and how will I receive the scholarships?

ANSWER: 70% of the scholarship amount is paid to the student in monthly payments. While determining the total amount of the remaining scholarship amount, the realization period in the Participation Certificate given to the student and the student's success status are taken into consideration. While paying the remaining scholarship amount of the student, the ratio of the total number of days in the realization period to the number of days that should normally take place within the Farabi Exchange Program is based on the ratio obtained by multiplying the total credits of the courses in which the student is successful by the total credits of the courses that the student is obliged to take. The start and end days of the exchange are also taken into account in determining the realization period in the Participation Document. Students who wish to participate in the program will continue their student, scholarship, dormitory and similar rights from their universities.
