Evaluation and Selection Process

Applications for Türkiye Scholarships are evaluated based on the applicant’s academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, and motivation in the field of study of choice.

• Preliminary Assessment: Basic requirements including minimum academic accomplishment, age restrictions for each level of study, and necessary documentation are used to evaluate all applications.
• Expert Evaluation: The Expert Committee evaluates applications from qualified applicants based on a number of factors, including academic standing, prior experience, academic interests, professional aspirations, consistency of preferences, letter of intent content, and involvement in extracurricular activities. The final list of candidates who qualify for the interview procedure is created after this step.
• Tests: Prior to the in-person interviews conducted by the Presidential Delegations, undergraduate applicants take a 30-question quantitative test including questions in arithmetic, geometry, and logic. Prior to the interview, tests will be given to applicants applying to the fields of engineering, science, and health sciences, which get the most applications in comparison to other disciplines. Candidates applying in the field of social sciences will also take tests, and the outcomes will be assessed in relation to those of other candidates in the same field.
  Both questions that call for explanations and those that don’t will be included in the exam. The explanations will be given in both Turkish and English. Candidates who are applying in the above-mentioned fields should endeavor to demonstrate a sufficient level of English to be able to understand and respond to the test’s questions, as English sources are frequently used in basic courses in health, science, and engineering programs in Turkey and many other nations around the world.
  Although the test takes into mind the country’s educational curricula, questions have also been designed in accordance with the Turkish curriculum. Candidates for undergraduate study in Turkey should be familiar with the foundational subjects taught there.
  Face-to-face interviews will be performed in morning and afternoon sessions on the same day as the test. When candidates are invited to the interview, they will be given information on the exam and interview timeslots.
