Yiğit Sezer FoundationEducation and Health

Our Work

Sometimes a scholarship, sometimes a school bag, sometimes a helping hand just in time.

Our education and health support models are designed to make a direct difference in the lives of children and young people.

Education

Multiplying opportunities at every stage of education

Non-repayable Scholarship Programme

We provide non-repayable scholarships to high school students at public secondary schools in Ankara, and to undergraduates studying on a 100% scholarship at public or foundation universities in Ankara.

Scholarship application and timeline

School Bag and Stationery Support

Through our “One Bag, One Hope” campaign we deliver school bags and stationery sets to pupils in need, above all in the earthquake region. More than 1,000 people have received this support so far.

Book Support

Through our “One Book, A Thousand Hopes” project we deliver books to village schools in Kahramanmaraş and Erzurum and help spread a culture of reading.

Workshops and Seminars

We organise painting lessons with artist Neşe Lüleç, body-awareness workshops with Aslı Tamaç, creative workshops for children and, together with Çayyolu Sahne, a free theatre performance.

Health

Working for timely and effective access to health

Support for Access to Health

We provide in-kind and financial support to people in need who cannot access health services in time.

Support for Health and Education Institutions

We offer financial, logistical and technical support to institutions in health and education, and strengthen cooperation between them.

Contributing to Scientific Progress

We support the development of sciences related to human health and education, and share knowledge with society through symposia and publications.
