In the 2024/2025 academic year, 1431 female university scholars—most of them studying engineering—received vital scholarship support from BTF. These young women are not just students; they are future innovators, builders, and leaders. Each scholarship represents a powerful vote of confidence in their potential.
But behind these numbers lies a harsh reality. University life in Türkiye is increasingly difficult. Many students struggle to afford housing, food, transportation, and basic academic resources. For female scholars—especially those in demanding fields like engineering—the pressure is even greater. Without financial support, countless talented students risk dropping out, not because they lack ambition, but because they lack means.
As we approach the 2025/2026 academic year, we must not leave these students behind. Your donations are more than charity—they are a lifeline. They help ensure that no student is forced to choose between education and survival. Every contribution helps keep a young scholar in school, focused, and hopeful.
To those who have already donated: thank you. Your generosity has made a real difference. But the journey continues, and so must our support. Let’s stand beside these students once again. Let’s invest in their futures, and in the future of Türkiye.
Together, we can ensure that no dream is left behind.
