Dear donor,
We have recently published our activity report for 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 periods. We would like to share some scholarship figures for these periods.
Cagdas Yasami Destekleme Dernegi (ÇYDD) launched the “You can light a candle too” (BISY) Project as part of its University Scholarship Program to support university students across Turkey. Since its inception in 1995, the BISY Project has enabled 65,567 university students to graduate, including 46,044 female and 19,523 male . In the 2023–2024 academic year, 8,941 university students received scholarships through the project and in the 2024–2025 academic year, 9,347 students received scholarships.
Total Number of Scholarship Recipients since the Foundation of the Project
In the past two years, 1,843 CYDD female high school scholarship students were admitted to various universities. The number of high school students who graduated in June 2025 and who will move on to universities will be known by the end of September.We will be giving them university scholarships along with new scholarship applicants.As usual we need your ongoing support and look forward to it
For 2025-2026, the scholarship amount for one university student per school year is determined as 600$ and it will be paid in 10 monthly installments.
