The Atatürk Scholarship was founded in 2020 by members of the Australian Turkish community to provide financial assistance to Australian students of Turkish ancestry who strive to excel in studies, enhancing peace and friendship between all people and all nations.
The Scholarship provides financial assistance to students commencing their first year of tertiary study at a University or TAFE at Degree, Diploma or Advanced Diploma level, in the year of application, and a special Şarık Arıyak Memorial Bursary for the second year.
The Atatürk Scholarship also provides a special Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Memorial Bursary via the Gallipoli Scholarship Fund to the decedents of the ANZAC’s. This bursary was created to honour the Turkish origins of the Gallipoli Scholarship. The Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Memorial Bursary memorialises Atatürk’s famous words to the mothers of the ANZAC’s and the 106 years of the close relationship between the two countries.
