Make a Lasting Impact – One Student at a Time
In memory of Murat Argon – a humanitarian, a mentor, and an inspiration to countless young people – ODTÜMİST and BTF are coming together once again on November 3, 2024, this time to continue Argon’s legacy of generosity and support for the next generation.
Though he is no longer with us, Murat Argon’s spirit of compassion and his commitment to the youth of Türkiye live on. His love for humanity and his belief in the power of education have inspired a global community of ODTÜ graduates and friends. Together, we walk in his footsteps, guided by his enduring smile and the values he instilled in us.
Since our founding, ODTÜMİST has amplified its voice across the globe, championing education and scholarships as our core mission.

Now, more than ever, we need your help to continue this vital work. By donating to this fundraiser, you are not only honoring the memory of Murat Argon, but also ensuring that deserving students receive the scholarships they need to pursue their education and achieve their dreams.
