Explaining the Inspire Future Scholarship offered by Altınbaş University, Dr. Kotan highlighted its different aspects.

Let us provide you with a scholarship opportunity based on those talents.' We don't just talk about academic success when defining success."
Dr. Kotan also emphasized the importance of goals and perspectives on education. She stated, "Receiving a scholarship based on your dreams and future goals is an important opportunity. Our university does not necessarily seek professional talent, but we value efforts. If you have an effort, for example, if you are interested in music, come to us and tell us about your dreams and goals. We will provide you with a scholarship opportunity accordingly."
