Türkiye Africa Undergraduate Scholarship Program 2013.

The  Türkiye-Africa Undergraduate Scholarship has been developed with the purpose of supporting successful and idealistic students wishing to study at undergraduate level in Türkiye.
Türkiye Scholarships will be allocated regionally. However, the number of scholarships granted to each country will not be decreased below the number of scholarships allocated in the years before, provided that candidates meet success criteria.

What does this scholarship cover?
The Türkiye Scholarships provide the students studying in Türkiye with wide opportunities. With the scholarship granted to you, you can matriculate at a University and utilize the health services of that University without making any payment. In addition, a specific amount of scholarship fee is put into your bank account every month.

This amount will be enough to continue your education and enjoy the social facilities in Türkiye freely. Meanwhile, you are provided with housing opportunities as well.
