FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after filling out the scholarship form?

After submitting your scholarship form, please wait for our response. We will review your application and notify you whether you have been awarded a partial scholarship or if your application was not successful.

When can I expect to hear about the status of my scholarship application? I don't want to miss my spot or application window

You won’t miss any of the classes. We receive a large number of applications, so the review process takes time. If the scholarship page does not specify any limitation for partial scholarships during your application, receiving a late response will not affect your opportunity.

Can I get a refund in the state of emergency?

Yes, we can issue a refund. Refunds are available up to 7 days before the start of classes; however, no refunds can be issued once classes have begun.

My time zone is different. Will I be able to access the classes later?

Yes, all paid live classes will be accessible to enrolled students afterward. If you miss the live sessions, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered.

How can I enroll in a live class at the Tokat Institute?
