Darussafaka Society

Today, the 157 year old Darussafaka Society creates a better future for high potential students who lost one or both parents and are from financially disadvantaged communities. 

At its school, the Society provides high-quality formal education to eligible students, starting at fifth grade through to the end of high school.

Every year, fourth grade students who lost one or both parents apply the Darussafaka Entrance Exam. The exam would be held on May 31, 2020 but the Society postponed the exam because of the COVID-19. Finally, the exam was held on 28 June, 2020 and 1093 students have applied for the exam.

At the beginning of the July, the exams results have been announced. 120 students successfully passed the exam and have the right to begin their education at the Darussafaka Schools in September 2020, on a full scholarship and full boarding status. 

Darussafaka works toward closing the achievement gap in Turkey by ensuring equal access to education. The Society can achieve this goal by offering full scholarships to all students who are admitted to its schools, thanks to the unwavering support of its donors. Darussafaka Society receives no state funding. In addition to all educational expenditures, student’s daily needs such as clothing, accommodation, food, and health services are all covered by donations to the Society. Darüssafaka also supports its graduates by providing scholarships for their university education.

Each student at Darüssafaka is a member of one of the most extensive and connected families in Turkey. The sense of fraternity, and the support that comes with it, remain with our students throughout both their personal and professional lives.

Thank you once again for making these accomplishments possible and sharing in our mission to create "equal opportunity in education” in Turkey.
