Expected Living Expenses
As well as your tuition fees, you will need to budget for your living expenses. These depend on your personal circumstances, but we recommend that students should budget around 3600 USD per year. This figure is estimated to cover the costs of staying at Sharif for nine months, i.e. two semesters and the short vacation (Norouz), and includes the cost of accommodation, food, books, and entertainment for the time spent in Tehran. If you intend to stay in Tehran for the whole year you will need at least 4500 USD. You will also need to cover the costs of travel to and from Tehran at the start and end of each year.
Scholarship
Generaly, there are two types of scholarships for international students. A highly competitive full tuition scholarship that is awarded by The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT) to especially talented students, and a partial tuition scholarship of 30 and 50 percent that is offered to students with good academic records by Sharif University of Technology (SUT). All tuition scholarships will be granted for the first semester, and can be carried on to the following semesters based on the academic performance of the receiving students.
