All students benefit from a tuition fee waiver, enabling them to embark on their CyberMACS journey without the burden of tuition. In addition, they will receive a one-time stipend of up to €3,000** to support essential expenses, including an economy-class flight ticket to Istanbul and a rental deposit (with a maximum of €1,000 allocated for the deposit).
