Are you a Pakistani student who wants to pursue higher education overseas and get valuable intellectual and cultural experiences? The Turkish government offers the Türkiye Scholarships (Türkiye Bursları), a prominent and fully-funded scholarship program each year.

Türkiye Scholarships (Türkiye Bursları) offer a valuable opportunity for academic and cultural enrichment. The Republic of Turkey established this initiative to develop global alliances and cultural interaction by providing fully-funded opportunities for overseas students, many of whom are from Pakistan. It is a very difficult program, but with proper preparation, Pakistani students can considerably improve their chances of success.

 

Benefits

The Türkiye Scholarships program is well-known for its full coverage, allowing selected students to focus only on their studies without financial concerns. Pakistani recipients can enjoy the following benefits:

• Full Tuition Fee Waiver: Say goodbye to tuition fees! The scholarship covers all of your university tuition costs.
• Monthly Stipend: A large monthly stipend is provided to cover living expenses, allowing you to comfortably meet your daily demands. (Stipend amounts typically vary according to study level: undergraduate, masters, and PhD).
• Free Accommodation: Live comfortably and safely in university dormitories.
• One-Year Free Turkish Language Course: Even if your preferred program is in English, all scholarship recipients must complete a one-year Turkish language course. This not only provides you with useful language skills for everyday life, but it also immerses you in the local culture.
• Round-trip airfare: The scholarship will cover the cost of your first ticket to Turkey and your return journey after graduation.
• Comprehensive Health Insurance: You may rest assured that you will have full health insurance coverage throughout your studies in Turkey.
