US Impact Scholarships
Impact Scholarships are designed to empower high-achieving students from Türkiye who demonstrate both exceptional talent and financial need. Whether pursuing academic studies or internships in the United States, recipients are selected not only for their academic or artistic excellence but also for their dedication to making a positive impact in their communities.
Through active engagement in service projects in both Türkiye and the U.S., scholars cultivate leadership skills, strengthen civic responsibility, and contribute to cross-cultural understanding. The program aims to support a new generation of globally minded changemakers committed to creating a better future.
