Our founder, Mr. Kadir Has used to address our students as "My White Doves, who will represent my name all over the world." Based on his statement, we named our scholarship program the "White Doves Scholarship Program." Mr. Has's most incredible legacy was to support our White Doves increasingly.
Today, we are proud to adhere to his will and honor his memory with the scholarships we provide to our students, as well as other assistance we provide to those in need.
The White Doves Scholarship Program is a valuable educational opportunity offered to the successful young people of our country. Following the equality policy of Kadir Has University, the eligible prospective students, whose economic conditions are limited, will benefit from the best educational opportunities to become qualified KHAS graduates.
Within the framework of the KHAS Education Model, students who grow as questioning and free-thinking individuals adorned with universal values and equipped with all the necessary competencies will design the future world. The White Doves will benefit from a long-term internship opportunity that will include participation in projects at the production facilities and R&D laboratories of our industrial stakeholders. Students who want to pursue an academic career may also have the opportunity to work in research laboratories, participate in prestigious publications/journals, and continue their graduate studies at leading universities worldwide.
The White Doves Scholarship Program was created with the contributions of the Kadir Has Foundation and our esteemed donors. The scholarship program includes accommodation expenses, book expenses, and support allowances, as well as an exemption from tuition fees. The education expenses of the students are covered equally (50-50%) by the donors and Kadir Has University.
The number of scholarship holders in the White Doves scholarship program, which was launched in 2020, has reached 20 in 2022. Fifteen White Dove scholarship recipients (75%) are female. The applicants must be citizens of the Republic of Turkey, residing outside Istanbul, and continuing their education at 12th grade when they apply to the Program.
