Fulbright/Turkish Universities Master's Program Award

The Fulbright/Turkish Universities Master's Program Award offers recent graduates, postgraduate candidates, developing professionals and artists an opportunity to pursue a full-time Master's degree program at leading state and foundation universities in Türkiye. Applications from all disciplines are eligible. The Turkish Fulbright Commission has protocols with nine universities, however acceptances from other universities will also be considered. Applications are assessed based on academic and professional excellence, as well as the applicant's potential to contribute to the mutual understanding and cultural exchange between the United States and Türkiye. Grants will begin in mid-September and run until mid-June. Most Master's Programs in Türkiye are two-year programs, and grantees will have the opportunity to apply for a renewal grant after the first academic year for one additional semester based on academic performance. The program provides a monthly stipend, international travel benefits, accident and sickness health benefits, 24/7 mental health support, and 12 months of non-competitive eligibility hiring status within the federal government.
