Darüşşafaka Educational Institutions conducted its Türkiye-wide entrance exam on Sunday, May 17, at 11:00 AM in all 81 provinces to select new students for the 2026–2027 academic year.
Due to current boarding capacity constraints, Private Darüşşafaka Secondary School will enroll 40 female and 60 male students this year.
Guided by its core mission of “Equal Opportunity in Education,” Darüşşafaka offers a high-quality, fully scholarship-funded boarding education from 5th grade through high school for talented students who have lost a parent and face financial challenges. The results of the entrance exam will be announced in June.
Students who pass the examination successfully will qualify for final enrollment at Darüşşafaka Educational Institutions after a standard financial assessment and after receiving an official medical report from a fully equipped hospital confirming their physical and mental health is appropriate for a boarding school setting.
Besides offering top-tier academic opportunities to students chosen through its annual exam, the Darüşşafaka Society also covers all personal expenses for its students and helps them become confident, lifelong learners who uphold universal values, stay aware of their responsibilities to their nation and society, and are prepared for ongoing success and happiness before farewelling them to university. Additionally, the Society provides financial scholarships to its alumni during their undergraduate studies.
