If a total of 100 hours of unexcused absence is accumulated in Turkish language and Academic Turkish courses, the “Scholarship Cancellation” procedure will be applied.
If 20 hours of unexcused absence occur in a month, a 25% deduction will be applied to your scholarship for 3 months.
If you cannot attend Turkish language classes due to illness, you must submit an official medical report from your doctor to YTB and the TÖMER authorities. Otherwise, your absence will be counted as unexcused, and your scholarship status will be at risk.
If you leave the country without permission while Turkish language classes are ongoing, except for official holidays, your scholarship will be suspended.
Academic Turkish courses are mandatory for those whose departments are in Turkish.
To ensure effective communication with our institution, your contact information, such as phone number and email, must be updated in the Türkiye Bursları Information System (TBBS).
If you hold a C1 certificate, you must upload it to the Turkish Language Certificate section under the Language Proficiency tab in TBBS.
You must not purchase your airline ticket before your leave request has been approved by the Presidency.
Leave requests to extend the holiday period immediately before or after official holidays will be rejected.
Students who successfully complete the Turkish preparatory education, obtain the C1 certificate, and finish the Academic Turkish program may return to their home countries without submitting a leave request.
