Provider
The Turkiye Scholarships – NAMA Foundation Joint Scholarship is a fully funded programme run by Turkiye Scholarships (YTB) together with the NAMA Foundation for international students who want to study a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD degree at universities in Turkey. It is aimed specifically at students and researchers from 6 countries: Indonesia, Tanzania, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Yemen, and Malaysia, and it is open to all academic disciplines. The award follows the same standards as the main Turkiye Scholarships and includes university and programme placement, full tuition coverage, a monthly stipend that matches Turkiye Scholarships rates, accommodation, health insurance, a one-time round-trip flight ticket, and a 1-year Turkish language course before degree study begins. The application window has typically run from around 10 January to 25 February, so the equivalent 2026/2027 window is expected to close near 25 February 2027. Applications are made through the official Turkiye Scholarships portal. Because the monthly amount, the number of places, and the exact dates are set each cycle, confirm the current 2026/2027 figures and deadline on the official Turkiye Scholarships page before you apply.
