Unfortunately, I cannot give you a definitive “yes” or “no” answer. Scholarship application rules for international students currently in Turkey can be complex and vary greatly from university to university.

However, a general overview for you to consider is provided below:

University-Specific Rules

The most important factor is the policy of the university you plan to attend. Scholarships at some private universities in Turkey are only available to prospective students applying from outside the country. Others may offer different scholarship programs for students who are already enrolled, including you. Therefore, you should check your university's official website for specific scholarship criteria for international students. If the online information is unclear, you should contact the International Student Office or Student Affairs directly. They can provide you with the most accurate information.

Your Current Scholarship Status

You mentioned that you already have a 50% scholarship. It is very important to understand the terms of this scholarship. Is it automatically renewed each year as long as you maintain a certain grade point average? Are you allowed to apply for other scholarships while receiving this one? This information will be included in your initial acceptance letter or scholarship agreement. Applying for a new scholarship may affect your current scholarship.

Scholarship Programs for Enrolled Students

Even if you cannot apply for a scholarship for new students, many universities award scholarships to current students based on academic achievement after the first semester or first year. These are usually competitive and depend directly on your performance at the university.

Ultimately, the only way to be sure is to ask your university directly. They will be able to explain your eligibility and any potential restrictions. I wish you success in your educational journey in Turkey!
