Admissions and Aid
To be considered for admission at RIT Tirana, students must show proficiency in English and math, along with evidence of successful completion of high school at a high level of achievement.
Entrance Exam
Our entrance exams are designed to assess the academic readiness and potential of prospective students. We offer a variety of exams, including English proficiency tests and math assessments, to ensure that students are placed in the appropriate level of coursework. Our exams are developed by experts in the field and are regularly reviewed to ensure their fairness and accuracy.
Admissions
Students are classified into three enrollment categories based on the entrance exam results:
Regular Admission
Students who have demonstrated above-average knowledge in English and mathematics are granted direct enrollment at RIT Tirana. At this level, they start directly with the Writing Seminar and Pre-calculus Math classes, which are the highest-level classes for a freshman student. Additionally, they may take up to three other RIT credit courses.
Conditional Admission
Students who require additional preparation in English, writing, and comprehensive skills are enrolled in this level. During their first academic semester, they focus on intensive English and math courses. Upon successfully completing these courses, students progress to the Writing Seminar and Algebra. Additionally, they may take up to two other RIT-credit courses, depending on their assigned class schedule.
Alternative Admission
This process provides an opportunity for students who wish to apply to RIT Tirana but cannot attend the mathematics exam in person or submit standardized test results due to specific circumstances. While it follows a process similar to regular admissions, there are two key differences in how English and math criteria are evaluated:
Tuition and Fees
Tuition by Program
Non-refundable deposit
Admitted students are required to pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee of 500 euros as part of the admissions process. This fee must be paid upon receiving the Acceptance Letter and serves to confirm their admission and secure their laptop order. The Reservation Fee is credited toward the first installment of their tuition payment. We are dedicated to ensuring transparency and affordability in our tuition and fees. To make higher education accessible to all qualified students, we offer various payment plans and financial aid packages.
Scholarships
Full Scholarships
Full Scholarship Awards (if available) are based on TOEFL and Institutional Math Exam scores, high school GPA, and extracurricular involvement. Preference may be given to students submitting SAT or ACT scores and demonstrating financial need. Recipients receive a full scholarship for their freshman year and are eligible for a 50% scholarship for three additional years, provided they maintain full-time status and a GPA of at least 3.80.
Partial Scholarships
Partial Scholarship Awards are determined by merit (e.g., TOEFL, Institutional Math Exam, SAT, GPA, extracurricular activities) and financial need. Partial scholarships are renewable for the second, third, and fourth academic years. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, with awards granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Early applications are encouraged.
Alumni Scholarships
The Alumni Scholarship is dedicated to alumni of the “Harry Fultz” high school. Awards are based on TOEFL, Institutional Math Exam scores, GPA, and extracurricular involvement. Alumni scholarship recipients will not pay more than their high school tuition fee, depending on their results.
