The YTB & IsDB Joint Scholarship provides students from IsDB member countries the opportunity to study at Türkiye’s most prestigious universities. The program offers full financial support, covering tuition fees, accommodation, health insurance, and living expenses. Scholarships are available for Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD degrees in various Science and Technology fields to support national development.
Applicants must submit their applications via the Türkiye Scholarships website, where they can apply in eight languages: Turkish, Arabic, English, French, Russian, Bosnian, Persian, and Spanish. The selection process ensures that students receive university admission and full scholarship benefits, enabling them to focus on their academic and professional growth in Türkiye’s top institutions.
For associate and bachelor’s degrees, the scholarship is structured as a Qard-Hasan (interest-free loan) to students and a grant to Least Developed Member Countries (LDMCs). Graduates repay the loan in easy installments to the IsDB Education Trust (IET) or a local Waqf in their home countries. This repayment model ensures continuous scholarship funding for future generations of students. You can also apply for the Erasmus Mundus Scholarship 2025-2026 (Study in Europe)
