What Is the Jean Monnet Scholarship?

The Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme is one of Türkiye's major EU-funded scholarship programmes. Its primary goal is to increase the number of experts who understand EU policies, laws, institutions, and the European integration process. Through this initiative, scholars can develop specialized knowledge that supports Türkiye's relationship with the European Union.

The programme enables successful scholars to pursue postgraduate studies in EU Member States. Applicants can choose study areas that relate directly to the EU acquis—the accumulated body of EU laws, policies, and regulations. This makes the scholarship particularly valuable for individuals interested in law, economics, public policy, international relations, environmental policy, social sciences, and other EU-related fields.
