Within the scope of the Performance-Based Scholarships Programme for PhD and Post-Doc Scholars, it is provided a performance-based scholarship for doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers who take part in TÜBİTAK-supported projects as a scholar. The aim is to encourage scholars to do research, to ensure project belonging, to increase their performance and motivation, and to strengthen the research ecosystem.
There are two scholarship periods covering February-July and August-January. Applications are received in August for the February-July scholarship period and in February for the August-January scholarship period. PhD and Post-Doc scholars in TÜBİTAK-supported projects can apply the programme every six months and can receive a monthly grant according to total performance score. Scholarship payments are made collectively for six-month periods. The monthly scholarship amount varies according to the performance score.
