Free Higher Education Opportunities in Turkey
With a recent more than a five-fold increase of number of international students who choose to study in Turkey, we recognize a growing interest and recognition of Turkey as one of the leading providers of higher education in the eyes of the international community. Of course, one of the first things future students are interested in is the cost of studying in a Turkish university. That is why we would like to share information we found about free higher education opportunities in Turkey.
Most of free educational opportunities in Turkey can be divided in two large categories: governmental scholarships provided via public universities and foundational scholarships provided by private universities (they also sometime called foundation universities here).
Governmental scholarship programs can be found on the platform called Turkiye Burslari. All information including description of the program, application process, eligibility requirements, and many other details can be found in English language version of the platform:

Scholarships of private universities usually can be found on the university website. We are providing the links to description of scholarships provided by some Turkish universities here:
Bahcesehir University Scholarships
Bogazici University Scholarships
However, there are some other less known ways to fund your education in Turkey. But finding them would require some additional research work from your side:
- Governments of some countries
- International private foundations and organizations
- Private foundations and organizations in your country
