Students commencing in higher education at GAU will earn the right to study with scholarships in 3 intercontinental campuses

REGISTRATION WILL BE ON 1st MARCH – 5th JUNE 2015

Special for its 30th year, Girne American University (GAU) states they will provide a scholarship for higher education to all students that graduate in the TRNC.

The decision made in 2012 by The Girne American University Senate meeting was that Turkish National Students who complete their college education in the TRNC will have the same advantages asTRNC nationals, such as applying for the scholarship examination, educational fees and the same scholarship fees. However, in order for Turkish national candidates to benefit from the TRNC Entrance and Scholarship examinations they need to take the YGS-LYS examination by ÖSYM to enter a non-scholarship program.

GAU also explains that the 2015 intercontinental scholarship examinations will include two formats; the first being for the students who were educated in Turkish colleges will be YGS formatted (multiple choices). The exam booklet will have 40 Turkish, 40 Social Sciences, 40 Mathematics and 40 Science questions - a total of 160. As for the students who have been educated in English colleges they will be able to choose an examination booklet between ARTS and SCIENCE (also including 160 questions), at the same time, they will have the choice of choosing the Turkish YGS formatted booklet. GAU also stated that the examination duration is 160 minutes and that the questions completed incorrectly will not affect correct answers, so the grades will be given accordingly.

Furthermore, in the 2014-2015 academic years, during fall semester, scholarship and registration examinations will take place on Saturday 6th June at 10 o’clock at Girne American University’s Millennium building located in Kyrenia, Cyprus. At the latest, students must be ready at 09:30 with their entry papers and ID cards.

2 days after the examination, 9th June 2015, the students that apply for the examination will personally be contacted by GAU’s staff about the scholarship and registration results with the numbers given on the forms.  

Examination applications between 1st March and 5th June can be conducted by colleges or GAU Student Affairs Office Presidency; candidates are required to submit an ID photocopy and 2 passport photographs. The examination fee is announced to be 50TL and the application form must be complete.

The application for the entrance examination will be at all TRNC colleges.
