Students who are eligible for the institutional professional, scientific and public life scholarship and the sports and cultural scholarship are full-time bachelor’s, master's, higher education vocational training, postgraduate, full-time state scholarship/grant and self-financed/reimbursed students.

PhD students are also entitled to the institutional professional, scientific and public life scholarship on the basis of the third sentence of Paragraph 10 (3) of the Government Decree, as a higher legal basis than the University's Student Benefits and Reimbursement Regulations.
