Funding

Main Türkiye Scholarships government FULL-TIME undergraduate awards generally include university placement, tuition, monthly undergraduate stipend (official current reference: 6,500 TRY per month), one-year Turkish language course, accommodation, health insurance, and a flight benefit at the beginning/end of study. Funding is competitive; amounts and details may be revised each year. DO NOT confuse the main Türkiye government scholarship with the separate IsDB joint programme, where undergraduate support can be repayable to an education trust after graduation and employment.

Eligibility

Applicants from Bangladesh generally eligible as foreign citizens. Official bachelor degree eligibility: minimum 70% academic achievement and age UNDER 21 years; health science programs may require 90%. Most courses in Türkiye are taught in Turkish, some programs offer English instruction but may require additional proficiency tests or standardized exams. Even recipients placed in English-medium programs must complete one year of Turkish instruction unless already C1 Turkish-proficient. Required materials may include identity document or passport, diploma or expected graduation, transcripts, grades, photo, and country/program-specific test results. Verify actual 2027 application eligibility and intended English-taught program in the government portal.
