I am aware of the wonderful future waiting for my brother thanks to the Anatolian Scholarship Program.

Koç University was the first choice my brother Cengizhan dreamed of. We were aware that if he could get in, he would have earned the best chance of his life for a beautiful future. After the university placement exam, his score did not suffice for a full scholarship at the Department of Media and Visual Arts. The Anatolian Scholarship Program, which he came across by chance, opened the doors to studying at Koç University. After becoming an Anatolian Scholar, he began to improve himself both academically and socially. Even when he came back to Trabzon for the first time since he left for college, we could clearly see the positive impact of the program on his personal development. I am aware of the wonderful future waiting for my brother thanks to the Anatolian Scholarship Program. I would like this program to expand its reach, creating an opportunity for many young people in Anatolia just like it did for my brother.

Anatolian Scholars will not only make a difference in professional life but also in social life.

Since the age of seven, I have spent my entire life at schools. At times I was sitting in classroom desks, and at times I was standing before them. I have witnessed the problems in our country’s education system, especially regarding the inequality of opportunity. I have tried my best to overcome this. I was so impressed when I encountered the Anatolian Scholarship Program. I prepared presentations for my students and their parents. This program tries to find a solution for inequality in access to education. Those who are selected to benefit from the program are raised in tune with global values and to be well equipped. I am sure that the Anatolian Scholars will not only make a difference in professional life but also in social life. As Malatya Science High School we have been proud to place our students in distinguished universities. And our graduates who got accepted to this program are a unique source of pride for us.

It is a great privilege for us to see our students getting into Koç University as Anatolian Scholars.

It is a great privilege for us to see our students getting into Koç University, which provides an education at a global standard. As Darüşşafaka High School we first encountered the Anatolian Scholarship Program in 2012. After seeing the scope of the program, we truly hoped for our students to get accepted. Each year our students apply to the program and wait for the results with impatience and enthusiasm. With the principle of equality in education, Darüşşafaka schools have been changing young people’s lives for one and a half century now. We thank Koç University for supporting our graduates as part of the Anatolian Scholarship Program, which relies on this principle.

The Anatolian Scholarship Program has been a beacon of hope for our child, who has limitless dreams and very high goals.

When Koç University visited Yusuf Ziya Öner Science High School, our daughter finally decided on the university of her dreams. After the university placement exam, we went to visit Koç University. We were greeted with a warm welcome. A distinguished professor at the School of Medicine gave us detailed information regarding the school. He also informed us about the Anatolian Scholarship Program. Seeing our daughter happy makes us happy. And Koç University’s contribution to this sentiment is invaluable. The Anatolian Scholarship Program has been a beacon of hope for our child, who has limitless dreams and very high goals. This program enables her to get one step closer to her dreams. We would like to thank Koç University, President Umran İnan, the Anatolian Scholarship team and the American Hospital for providing our daughter with limitless opportunities.
