How Türkiye Bursları combines university placement, stipend, housing, language year, and interview selection.
Who this is for
Applicants using Türkiye Bursları (YTB) who want university placement and funding in one package — tuition, stipend, housing support, health insurance, language year when needed, and a flight ticket.
What to do
Create your TBBS portal account early
Applications run only through the official TBBS portal. Age limits and minimum grades differ by bachelor’s, master’s and PhD levels.
Rank programme preferences inside the portal
Placement is part of the award. This is different from applying to a university first and hunting funding later.
Prepare for interview if shortlisted
Be ready to explain academic goals and why Türkiye is the right host system for your field — not a generic “I love Turkish culture” answer.
Plan for the language year when required
Turkish language training is commonly included when your degree needs it. English-taught programmes still follow YTB’s published rules for that cycle.
