Dear friend,
We will soon be starting to accept scholarship applications from high school students of disadvantaged families for the new shool year. This year we hope to give scholarships to 1,700 new students. Together with our branches, the total of our high school scholarship recipients will be about 9,000 for the 2021-2022 school year.
We recently changed our scholarship policy to also include secondary school students starting at 5th grade in our Project. The 12 years of the Turkish education system at the moment is divided as 4+4+4 and we used to give scholarships for the last 4 years to keep girls in highschool and to enable them to continue on to university. However with the quality of education regularly going down in public schools, we decided to accept students after the first 4 years. This way we hope to increase their academic success and help their personal development with extra curricular seminars and trainings we hope to provide.
We also plan to give scholarships to students from families who suffered natural disasters, such as forest wildfires and floods this summer. Through our local branches, we are already determining these families in need.
As we increase our goals, we look forward to your donations as always..
