Benefits of Turkey Scholarships for International students

• One of the best things about Turkey Scholarships is that it handles student accommodations in the best
  way. All the students are accommodated in the university dormitories, the students can live free of charge. However, if the students do not want to live in these dormitories can easily move to a location of their liking,
  although in this case, the student must pay for his own accommodation.
• Students are encouraged to study at their full potential and there is no responsibility on their shoulders.
  The students do not have to pay for any tuition fees, the education is completely free and this is something that
  cannot be taken for granted.
• The health expenses of all the students are covered by public health insurance. Healthcare is a pretty big
  issue around the world especially if you are a foreigner. This is not the case if you are a scholarship student in
  Turkey. Even if you get sick all the expenses will be covered by public health insurance and you do not have to
  pay a single penny.
• The Turkey Scholarships program even pays for the travel expenses of the students. Two tickets will be
  provided to the student during his studies, once will be for their arrival and the other will be for their
  departure after the students have completed their studies. However, if the students decide to purchase their own
  tickets, the amount will be returned to the students later on.
