The Bartın Municipality in Turkey is launching its scholarship program for university students, coinciding with the release of university placement results. This initiative aims to provide financial assistance to students facing economic challenges as they begin their higher education journeys.

University students can apply for the scholarship between August 24 and September 11. To be eligible, applicants must be citizens of the Republic of Turkey. Additionally, they or one of their parents must have a registered address within the central neighborhoods of Bartın. Applicants must be enrolled in undergraduate or associate degree programs at universities within Turkey. For continuing students, a minimum GPA of 53 (on a point system) or 2.0 (on a grade system) is required for the previous academic term.

Financial need is a key criterion for eligibility, and applicants must be under 25 years of age. The application process requires submission of several documents, including student enrollment certificates (or ÖSYM placement results for new students), academic transcripts, proof of disability (if applicable), and documents related to family income. Specific forms, such as the Scholarship Application Form and Scholarship Undertaking Form, must also be completed. Students repeating a year, pursuing master's or doctoral degrees, enrolled in open or distance education, or convicted of a serious offense are not eligible to apply.
