Promising Turks Fund

We’re thrilled to announce that our “Promising Turks Fund (the Grant)” is getting a major boost in 2024. With our commitment to supporting the dreams and ambitions of Turkish-descended students in the USA, we’re doubling our grant budget to $200,000 in 2024. This means more opportunities and bigger awards – up to $20,000 per student – to help cover your living expenses while you focus on your academic pursuits.

The Grant is open to qualified individuals of Turkish descent or nationality who meet the following:

  1. Currently enrolled as students at a US University with a scholarship specifically designated for a STEAM field or;
  2. Incoming students who have received acceptance from a US University for studies in a STEAM field and have already been awarded a scholarship.

Please note that already awarded scholarships could be in any form, including but not limited to a tuition waiver, a Fulbright scholarship, or another type of scholarship from a third-party institution etc.

  1. detailed resume, 
  2. motivation letter, 
  3. scholarship offer letter, and
