What Are the Advantages of the Turkish Scholarship 2023 for Students?

Benefiting from the Turkish Scholarship 2023 provides the accepted student with the following advantages:

Student Health Insurance

The student accepted into this scholarship receives public health insurance in Turkey that covers various medical expenses, along with significant discounts on surgeries, medications, and other medical costs. This is very encouraging, considering that health is one of the most important aspects for any foreign resident, whether in Turkey or elsewhere.

Opening a Bank Account in Turkey and Depositing a Monthly Salary for the Student

The Turkish Scholarship administration opens a bank account for each accepted student, and a monthly salary is deposited into it. The salary provided for accepted students in 2023 is estimated as follows:

Note:

• The salary in US dollars has been calculated based on the Turkish Lira exchange rate as of the scholarship start date (10/01/2023).
• The monthly scholarship amount is increased at the beginning of each year.

Coverage of the Costs for Obtaining the Student Residence Permit

The scholarship administration in Turkey oversees all procedures for obtaining the student residence permit for accepted students and renews it annually until the end of the study period granted to the student, according to the university level they are enrolled in.

Coverage of the Costs for Learning Turkish

Students accepted into the Turkish Scholarship 2023 receive a free course to study and master Turkish for one year (the preparatory year) if they do not know Turkish or do not possess a TÖMER certificate proving their proficiency.

This course is required for all accepted students, whether the language of instruction is Turkish or English.

Here we can say that the scholarship offered for studying in Turkey does not require mastery of Turkish.

Travel Expenses to Turkey

The Turkish Scholarship 2023 administration covers the required expenses for travel, obtaining the study visa, and other costs associated with traveling from outside Turkey to it, if the applicant is located outside Turkey.

Additionally, the scholarship administration covers travel expenses for returning to the home country after the completion of studies, but does not cover travel expenses during the study period.

Provision of University Student Housing

Another important advantage is the provision of free student housing for accepted scholarship students, including all housing expenses and bills at the university where they are registered.
