Scholarships given by Sabanci Foundation have no repayment or service obligation or compulsory service expectation and are provided to successful but financially lacking university students. However, graduates can mentor students to transfer their experience and knowledge to the students who receive scholarships if they wish to pay their debt of gratitude.

Moreover, the Sabanci Foundation Scholarships are granted to 15 students that the Measurement, Selection and Placement Centre (OSYM) designates on the basis of their handicaps and academic performance as well as 15 students who ranked first in their respective provinces, with a priority given to students from the developing provinces.
