Our Difference

bursverenler.org is a non-commercial social responsibility project operated by Yücel Kültür Vakfı, a foundation with a 57-year history. Necessary security measures are applied under the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK) when applicants’ information and documents are shared with scholarship-providing institutions. No information or document is shared without the applicant’s consent.

Messages from institutions are delivered securely to scholarship applicants through the system, without using email or another communication channel.

The platform is registered with VERBİS and processes personal data only for authorised purposes. Financial transfers are carried out through banks. Bank receipts relating to scholarship payments are shared with donors after the payment process has been completed.

Direct donations from donors to scholarship recipients are intentionally disabled. This approach aims to prevent the exploitation of young people or hardship caused by the interruption of a scholarship.

Once registered, a student can update and use the same form from primary school through to doctoral level. New certificates, diplomas and awards can be added to the system at any time.

Well-educated societies strengthen not only economic well-being, but also technology, democracy, tolerance and development. For this reason, we invite individuals and institutions to support education.

bursverenler.org uses digital technology instead of paper-based methods. Application forms are completed online and documents are uploaded electronically.

The first application form takes approximately 40 minutes and is completed only once. It can be used to apply for hundreds of scholarships throughout a student’s education. The profile can also serve as a CV after graduation.

The platform’s algorithm helps institutions assess scholarship applicants more fairly and objectively.

bursverenler.org enables young people to apply for more scholarships easily and at a low cost. The 10 TL application fee helps reduce applications that do not meet programme criteria and supports healthier assessment processes for institutions.

As all documents are uploaded electronically, there are no additional postage or printed-document costs.

Foundations, associations, educational institutions, individuals, commercial brands and chambers can use the platform free of charge to offer scholarships and collect donations.
