Türkiye Scholarships & Tuition Free European Degrees for Ethiopian High School Graduates

A step by step roadmap to winning the Türkiye Bursları full government scholarship and accessing tuition free education in Germany and Italy.

1. Türkiye Bursları: The Full Government Ride

Every year between January 10 and February 20, the Turkish Government opens the Türkiye Scholarships portal (tbbs.turkiyeburslari.gov.tr). This award provides 100% tuition, monthly living allowance, free dormitory accommodation, round trip flight tickets, health insurance, and one full year of Turkish language preparation.

2. Academic Cutoffs for Ethiopian Candidates

Undergraduate candidates must be under 21 years old and have a minimum cumulative grade of 70% for general bachelors degrees, or 90% for Health Sciences (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy). Shortlisted Ethiopian scholars are invited to an in person interview at the Turkish Embassy in Addis Ababa.

3. Tuition Free Public Universities in Germany & Italian DSU Grants

In Germany, almost all public universities charge €0 tuition fees to international students. In Italy, regional educational grants (such as DSU in Tuscany or ER.GO in Emilia Romagna) provide full tuition waivers plus cash stipends of up to €7,500 per year based on verified family income certificates.
