In accordance with its current foreign policy, the Turkish government actively seeks to promote and increase the number of foreign students studying at Turkish higher education institutes, with a particular focus on nationals from Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe. This is due, in part, to the government's intention and efforts to maintain Turkey's leading regional and global position.
Large corporations are increasingly providing financial support to Turkish universities, allowing them to award more scholarships based on students' needs and merit. The amounts and procedures for applying for these scholarships vary greatly. Scholarship announcements for specific countries are made through diplomatic channels.
