Every student has a different story. Every donor has a different vision for creating impact.
At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, scholarships are designed to reflect both. Whether you want to recognize community leadership, honor the legacy of a loved one, expand opportunities for young women, support students pursuing a particular field of study, or champion a promising student through your own network, TPF offers a variety of ways to create a scholarship that aligns with your values and philanthropic goals.
We invite you to join us for a special webinar featuring TPF Scholars whose educational journeys have been made possible through the generosity of our donors. Coming from diverse backgrounds and pursuing a wide range of academic disciplines, these students have overcome financial barriers to continue their education and are preparing to become economists, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, and community leaders.
During the webinar, you'll hear their inspiring stories while learning about the different scholarship opportunities available through TPF and how a scholarship can become a lasting legacy that empowers generations of young people.
Join us on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at 1:00 PM EST to meet the next generation of changemakers and discover how investing in education can transform both individual lives and the future of our communities.
We’ll be hosting a live Q&A session to answer your questions and provide deeper insights. We look forward to seeing you!

About TPF Scholarships:
Every scholarship represents more than financial support — it is an investment in talent, potential, and the leaders who will shape our future.
All TPF scholarship programs share one core mission: removing financial barriers for students of Turkish heritage pursuing education in the United States. Yet each program is uniquely designed, with its own identity, eligibility profile, funding structure, and selection process — guided by a dedicated Scholarship Committee that ensures every student finds the right path to support.
Together, these programs form a leadership pipeline that connects education, career development, and community impact across the Turkish-American ecosystem. Just as important, they cultivate a lasting sense of belonging — fostering long-term engagement and a strong, enduring connection between scholars, alumni, and the broader TPF community.
