About Türkiye Scholarships
Türkiye Scholarships is a competitive government-funded programme for international students. It combines scholarship support with university and department placement, so candidates choose preferences within the official application system rather than first securing a separate university offer for the general programme.
The programme is open to citizens of all countries, subject to academic, age and graduation conditions. A Pakistani applicant is not guaranteed selection merely by meeting the minimum criteria.
Financial Benefits
The official programme currently lists university and department placement, tuition fees, one year of Turkish-language study, accommodation, health insurance and one-time flight support. Current monthly stipends are TRY 6,500 for undergraduate students, TRY 9,500 for master’s students and TRY 13,000 for PhD students.
These are the benefits and rates visible before the 2027 call. Applicants must verify the new announcement because the government may change amounts or conditions.
Application Structure
The official annual calendar shows general applications from 10 January to 20 February, evaluation from March to May, interviews from June to July, results in early August and initial procedures in August, followed by transfers to Türkiye in September. This recurring calendar is useful for preparation, but the 2027 notice remains the controlling source.
- Create one account on the Türkiye Scholarships application system.
- Complete personal, educational and social activity sections.
- Upload the required records and test results relevant to the chosen programmes.
- Select eligible university and programme preferences.
- Write a specific motivation statement and, for PhD applications, prepare the research proposal.

Eligibility Requirements
The official minimum academic achievement is 70% for bachelor’s applicants, 75% for graduate applicants and 90% for health-science applicants. Age limits are under 21 for bachelor’s, under 30 for master’s and under 35 for PhD applicants.
Eligible groups include citizens of all countries, graduates or students who will graduate before August, and researchers or academics for relevant programmes. Turkish citizens, people who have lost Turkish citizenship and students already enrolled in a Turkish institution at the same study level are not eligible for the general programme.
Required Documents
The official application system may request:
- a national identity document or passport;
- a recent photograph;
- national examination results, where applicable;
- a diploma or temporary graduation certificate;
- academic transcripts;
- international examination results such as GRE, GMAT, SAT or equivalent where required;
- language-test results where required by the selected programme; and
- a research proposal and example of written work for PhD applications.
Pakistani documents should be clear, complete and translated where the official system requires a language other than the original.
How to Apply
- Monitor the official scholarship calendar for the 2027 announcement.
- Review the official programme and benefit information.
- Create or update an account in the Türkiye Scholarships application system.
- Prepare records early, but submit only after the 2027 call confirms the available programmes and deadline.
