Since 2011, under the Temporary Protection orders issued by the Turkish government, Syrians have a right to education in Turkiye.

However, despite generous government allowances, the biggest barrier to enrollment at university is the financial cost associated with obtaining a college education such as preparatory courses, textbooks, room and board, and transportation.

Our Scholarship Program provides Syrian refugee students with relief from this burden by offering semester-based conditional cash stipends as a form of gap funding.

Access a collection of educational resources on mental health, life skills,  awareness sessions, vocational trainings, and more.

In addition to financial assistance, Scholarship Program offers support by: 

  • Coaching high school students to prepare them for university.
  • Investing in the personal growth of university students by facilitating students' access to volunteer opportunities.
  • Help students prepare for the job market by conducting professional development workshops.

The goal of Scholarship Program is to prepare youth for university, prepare university students for the workforce, and build leadership qualities in scholars so that they can give back to local and greater communities.

We strive to create a community in which refugees are well-rounded, educated, and competitively employed members of the Turkish and international workforce and who positively contribute to their societies wherever they may go.
