The Anatolian Scholarship Program is designed for students from underprivileged backgrounds who miss scholarship by a slight margin. It is the first of its kind to provide both academic and need-based scholarship in Turkey and presents an innovative funding strategy by engaging the private sector and the alumni as donors. Starting with 14 students and 6 sponsor companies in 2011, the number of students has reached 500, and the number of sponsor companies is 220 today.
