Dear donor,
We have been accepting applications since mid September for high school scholarships.As the first 4+4 years in primary and secondary school is compulsory, we give scholarships to girls starting 9th grade to keep them in school and hope some of them will go on to university.
This is the busiest month of the year for CYDD headquarters in Istanbul and 110 CYDD branches all over Turkey as we have to process thousands of applications and assess their eligibility by end October.
Kardelen is one the high school students getting scholarship from CYDD.She says "I want to show that a girl can have aims and dreams beyond her means and if given a chance she can be successful. We only want to have equal rights and chances.I know that if I was born into another family, I could have been a mother of 3-4 myself but I am lucky that I was given a chance to study.I will become a female doctor.."
In our next report, we will let you know how many scholarships we could award this year. With your support, we hope we can give more scholarships every year..
Thank you for being with us.
Gratefully yours,
