Foreign Language Scholarships started in the academic year 2013 by Yücel Cultural Foundation and have been of great interest to young people. Scholarships will continue this academic year with an increased number of students.
If you lack the foreign language skills and would like to enrich your life by learning a new language, this scholarship is made for you.
Application Date: Every day of the year
Announcement Date: October 1st, 2023 and April 1st, 2024
How does it work?
Thanks to the cooperation between language shools and our Foundation, students who are entitled to a foreign language scholarship receive a portion of their course fee as form of a scholarship from the Foundation. Successful completion of a level will result with the continuation of support for the next level.
In order to receive the scholarship, you are required to apply during the application period as explained on this page. After the applications have been submitted, the selection committee analyzes and selects the applicants in accordance with the scholarship quota. After notification by Yücel Cultural Foundation, selected candidates choose the linguistic institutes they wish to attend and inform the Foundation of their choice, register, and start following classes.
Students are required to attend at least 60% of the classes. Failure to follow this obligation will result in termination of the scholarship. Abstention due to medical reasons is not part of the above obligation.
Please check the article (11.e) in scholarship regulation!
Who Can Apply?
It is not required to be a university student in order to apply for this scholarship. Everyone between the ages of 18 – 26 are eligible.
