Scholarship and Loan

What is a Scholarship?

It is a monetary aid given unconditionally to successful and needy students pursuing higher education. In this context, many institutions, organizations, and foundations can provide scholarships.

Who can apply for scholarships?

Associate, Bachelor's, and Graduate students can apply.

Students who will benefit from scholarships?

The students who can benefit from scholarships vary depending on the institution, organization, and foundation. Therefore, our students can obtain this information from the relevant institutions, organizations, and foundations.

What is a Study Loan?

A study loan is a financial aid provided to Turkish citizens studying in higher education institutions, aimed at supporting them financially and facilitating their social and cultural development. This loan is granted for the normal duration of their studies and does not carry any compulsory service obligation.

The study loan debt is determined by applying the increases in the Domestic Producer Price Index from the Turkish Statistical Institute to the amounts provided to the student during their normal study period, and by adding the calculated amount.

Who Can Benefit from the Study Loan

Students pursuing associate degrees, bachelor's degrees, or graduate studies (master's and doctoral programs) can benefit from the study loan.

Note: A student cannot receive both a scholarship and a study loan simultaneously.

Students Who Cannot Benefit from the Study Loan

Graduates from higher education institutions (excluding vertical transfers and graduate studies).

Students receiving additional study time.

Associate degree graduates who begin a bridging program after a break for reasons other than health.

Students undergoing bridging training to transition from an associate degree to a bachelor's degree (during the bridging program).

Students who have been unsuccessful for more than one academic year or have taken a break for more than one year at the time of their loan application.

Students who have previously received a scholarship or study loan from the institution.

Students who provide false declarations.

International students.

Students who have been permanently expelled from dormitories.

Students who have been convicted by a final judgment.

Open education and distance education students.

Students deemed ineligible for a loan under the provisions of the Study Loan Regulation cannot benefit from the study loan.

Note: For those who experience a change in their situation while receiving a study loan, if they fall under the category of students prioritized for scholarships as determined by the Board of Directors in the academic year when the change occurs, their study loans will be converted to scholarships, provided they document their changed circumstances, starting from the payment period following the change.

What is a Contribution Loan?

A contribution loan is the amount determined by the Council of Ministers as a current service payment for a student in higher education institutions, excluding the state contribution. It is the money paid by the institution to the student’s educational institution account in exchange for borrowing.
