How is the scholarship rate determined?

Quotas of 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% scholarships are defined according to your ÖSYM placement ranking. Quotas vary by programme; details are on the programme pages.

Can a scholarship be lost?

To keep a scholarship you must stay above the GPA lower limit; for full-scholarship students it is 2.50. A disciplinary penalty can also lead to the scholarship being cancelled.
