Giving talented but financially disadvantaged kids with deceased fathers and/or mothers an opportunity for free education with boarding, Darüşşafaka Schools will hold the 2022 entrance exam in 31 provinces of Turkey at 11:00 hours on Sunday, May 29. Once students pass the exam, which can be taken by 4th graders, as well as the following financial assessment and health check, they will have the right to receive free-of-charge college education starting from the 5th grade until university.
All families want their kids to receive a decent education, be successful, live a happy life, and be of service to their family and nation. Darüşşafaka provides free education with boarding to fatherless or motherless talented children with limited financial means. Established in 1863 by philanthropists believing all children of Turkey have the right to receive a decent education, Darüşşafaka covers all needs, such as education, health, nutrition, accommodation, and clothing, of the students chosen through the annual exam, and graduates them from high school by raising them in the best way. Darüşşafaka High School graduates start university as knowledgeable young people who speak English, have proficient computer skills, play an instrument, are engaged in sports, and are avid readers. Darüşşafaka supports its successful alumni by providing scholarships during their university education.
A candidate who does not respond to the invitation of the school “health board” or does not participate in the “financial situation checking” process is not eligible for registration in school even if he/she passes the exam.
