Student Anti Poverty Programmes

All universities in Turkey accept students through the national higher education entrance exam, and also international students are evaluated through their exam grades. In Turkey's higher education system, there is no external application that facilitates the entry of low-income students to university. For this reason, it is not possible to make a different application for students with low household incomes during student selection. Our students are informed about the scholarship options and camps during the registration process. After the scholarship applications are received, an evaluation is made.

Our university accepts to provide education to low-income students at both national and international levels. Providing support to low-income students and ensuring that they are not deprived of educational opportunities due to lack of income is a policy of Sakarya University. The primary goal of Sakarya University in scholarship support is to provide scholarships to all students whose household income is at or below the hunger limit. One or more scholarships are given to the students at or below the hunger limit.

Sakarya University offers food and accommodation scholarships, which are primarily used by students from low-income families, relatives of martyrs or veterans, and disabled students. Sakarya University students who needs financial supports can apply for the Alumni Association ScholarshipSAU Foundation ScholarshipFood Scholarship, and faculty scholarship programs conducted in their own schools. In addition to these, the Foreign Student Scholarship, which is open to international students' applications, is among the scholarships that Sakarya University students can benefit from. Food, accommodation, and cash scholarships provided by our university are not canceled if the academic success of our students decreases.

Students who will benefit from the Sakarya University accommodation scholarship are determined by the Dormitory Management and Disciplinary Board, in accordance with Article 25 of the Sakarya University Dormitories Regulation. Students who are decided to receive a scholarship have the right to free accommodation at Sakarya University Esentepe Student Dormitory.

Although universities are not obliged to provide food service within the scope of the legislation, Sakarya University provides food service to provide students with affordable price and quality nutrition. Students who are eligible to receive a meal scholarship are not charged for lunch and dinner.

In addition to providing food, accommodation or cash scholarships to students who enroll in our university and prove that they are low-income, the success rates of these students are closely examined by consultant academicians. Academic advisor support is provided to our students to ensure their success. Our students do not need to be above a certain level of success in order to receive a scholarship from Sakarya University. For this reason, all scholarships provided by our university are related to poverty level and are not evaluated according to academic success.
