This is Turkey government scholarship for international students. It's fully funded
0:05
Now, this is not a scholarship for a specific school or for a specific program
0:11
It doesn't actually... you do not apply to a university for this scholarship
0:17
This is given by Turkey government, which I can only speak highly of because I'm a Turkish citizen
0:26
So, this is basically... you apply to this scholarship and it covers for undergraduates
0:35
It covers your university and program placement. Sorry, program placement, a monthly stipend, a full tuition fee, return flight ticket, health insurance
0:47
Now, health insurance, I have to say, in Turkey health insurance is quite good
0:53
relatively compared to some other countries that you might be interested in
0:59
We even have this sort of medical tourism thing going on. So, this is quite good. We have quite a good health insurance here
1:09
Accommodation, a one-year language course. As you can see, with this scholarship you do not apply to an individual university
1:18
You apply to this scholarship and it places you in a university
1:23
Now, in Turkey, a lot of the internationally connected universities are some of these cities in Ankara
1:35
or the capital, or Istanbul, or Izmir, which is where I live
1:40
But also, Bursa and Eskisehir are quite good student cities. So, if you're interested, if you apply to this scholarship, they place you in a university
1:51
So, these might be one of the cities you will be in
1:55
Now, postgraduate, pretty much the same. University placement, tuition fees, flight ticket, health insurance, accommodation and stuff
2:03
But also, you are given a stipend if you're an undergraduate student
2:12
So, this needs an update. Now, these numbers are not... I don't believe these numbers are right
2:21
I will come back to that later. Now, as you can see, we have our links here
2:27
If you want to learn more, you can go to this page. And you can look into scholarships
2:34
Here, we have different links. You can get more information, how to apply, application criteria
2:40
Or you can go, what the scholarship covers. So, let's click on that
2:47
Now, as you can see, it's pretty much the same information. University and department placement covers
2:53
Yeah, here. For undergraduate level, you also have a monthly stipend, which is 1,700 Turkish Liras
3:03
Now, here's the thing with Turkey. These are... If you want to see how much they are, how much they are worth, you might see that they are quite low for Turkey
3:17
But the thing is, Turkey has been dealing with inflation recently. So, what happens... Because I also, until very recently, had a scholarship on a scientific research
3:31
Now, what happens is, when with inflation, your stipends are updated. For example, I started by getting 3,000 Liras, maybe
3:46
But then, after a couple of months, like six months, with the inflation, they were adjusted and it became 6,000 Liras, maybe
3:55
But these numbers here on webpages are not usually updated that regularly
4:01
So, these numbers are probably not the actual numbers right now. So, if you look at these and they seem to be low, that's probably because of the inflation
4:12
And this does not reflect the real numbers, probably. Now, okay. So, yeah, this is pretty much it
4:21
The Turkish government scholarships. Again, this isn't a scholarship that you first go and apply to a specific university or program
4:31
This, you apply to this scholarship and this scholarship places you in a university in Turkey, which will probably be in one of these cities
4:42
So, if you're interested, check out the link that I put in the chat
4:47
And if you have any questions about this scholarship, any other scholarship you're interested in, or in general studying abroad, you can ask them in the chat right now
