HELPING WHERE WE CAN: OUR SCHOLARSHIPS FOR TURKISH AND SYRIAN STUDENTS

IU International University of Applied Sciences declares solidarity with Turkey and Syria

The news of the devastating earthquake in Turkey and Syria are heart-breaking, and no words can describe the suffering that the people are going through. In this difficult situation, we are united in our commitment to help quickly wherever it is needed. 

As an emergency aid for the people affected, we have set up a donation campaign for IU employees and students, and have been able to collect over 33,000 Euros, which the IU organisation will top to a total amount of 100,000 Euros. The donations will be directed to children whose lives have been affected by this horrible tragedy. 

But we want to do even more. So, we are now offering 100 full scholarships for Turkish and Syrian students from any university who would like to pursue online Bachelor, Master, or MBA programmes but can’t start their studies due to the crisis. 

We hope that this offer will help the scholarship recipients pursue their studies despite of the events. 

Full online scholarships for 100 students

If you have been affected by this crisis then please write to us at info-international@iu.org. Please attach a half-page motivational letter with your email. Once we receive this our Study Advisors will reach out to you to and may request for other official documents to meet our 100% full scholarship criteria. 

Who can apply for this scholarship?

All Turkish and Syrian passport holders, as well those who can prove residency in Turkey or Syria, who can´t start their IU online degree programmes due to the recent events are eligible for this scholarship. The scholarship is tied to residency in Turkey or Syria, or to having refugee status.
