IllustrationTürkiye’s Energy Ministry announced the results of the TENMAK Domestic Undergraduate Merit Scholarship on 23 September 2026. An electronic ranking assessed 20,632 applications that met the criteria, and 500 students in 30 undergraduate programmes qualified. The ministry said the selected group included the top scorer in the national university entrance examination.
Recipients are set to receive TRY 13,750 per month. The ministry also said it intends to match students with mentors according to their fields of study and career plans, connect them with the research ecosystem and introduce them early to TENMAK’s areas of work.
The minister said the agency plans another call in February, with additional undergraduate fields and students in their third and fourth university years included. The September notice reports the current selection; it does not give application dates or detailed conditions for the planned call.
The ministry said about 70,000 students accessed the system to explore the first call, while only applications meeting the stated criteria entered the ranking. Interest in applying and the number of scholarship recipients are therefore different measures.
