Turkish Coalition of America Scholarship Program

37839 300x225 Turkish Coalition of America Scholarship ProgramThe Turkish Coalition of America has an expansive offering of scholarships each year, and these grants are not as limited as one might think. There are, of course, scholarships for those of Turkish descent, but there are also up to 100 scholarships for minority students (African American, Hispanic, and Native American students) studying at a Turkish university, up to 100 scholarships for Armenian American students who have been accepted to a school in Turkey, and the TCA even offers scholarship opportunities for Bosnian-American students participating in study abroad programs in Turkey. For a list of all scholarships offered by the TCA (and other Turkish American organizations) simply glance over their scholarship page.

Out of all of these, we will focus on the scholarships for students of Turkish descent. To be eligible for this scholarship, applicants must:

 

  • Be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident (green card holder)

  • Demonstrate leadership commitment through participation in community service, particularly within the Turkish American community;
  • Pursue a career in law, public policy, public affairs, political science, international relations, communications, journalism or public relations;
  • Be a graduating high school senior, a college student, a college senior enrolled (or about to enroll) in graduate school, or a graduate student who is enrolled full time in a degree program.
  • While financial need is not an eligibility criteria, special consideration may be shown to applicants who provide information about and prove financial need.
