Türkiye Bursları: what to know upfront

Türkiye Bursları is the government scholarship administered by YTB (Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities). It covers tuition, a monthly stipend, accommodation, health insurance, and flights on arrival and after graduation. Candidates apply themselves through the YTB portal, and there is no separate application fee.

The point people most often learn too late: every scholarship holder must complete a one-year Turkish language course — regardless of the language the degree itself is taught in. Even on an English-taught programme, that Turkish year is mandatory, with a C1 level expected at the end.

Application windows change from cycle to cycle, so we deliberately do not publish dates here: check them directly on turkiyeburslari.gov.tr before preparing documents.
