Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme (JMSP)

Within the framework of Turkey's negotiation process for full membership to the EU, the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme (JMSP) aims at contributing to Turkey's administrative capacity building efforts through increasing the number of experts on fields related to the EU acquis. The programme supports individuals working in Turkey's public sector, private sector, universities, or senior undergraduate/postgraduate students who wish to specialize in EU-related fields. Scholars conduct academic studies at graduate or research level for periods of minimum 3 to maximum 12 months at institutions in EU member states or eligible countries. The scholarship covers tuition fees, living expenses, and a fixed amount for various one-time expenses including travel, visa, educational materials, and insurance. With 190 scholarships available annually, the programme provides comprehensive support for individuals seeking to develop expertise in EU acquis-related fields.
