Applications for the 2nd term of the Türkiye Graduates Academic Incentive Program 2026 have begun.
Applications have opened for the second term of the Turkey Graduates Academic Incentive Program 2026, which aims to encourage the academic output of academics and researchers who graduated from universities in Turkey. Within the scope of the program, foreign academics and researchers who have completed part of their education in Turkey will be provided with an incentive of up to 500 USD for their articles published in international academic journals indexed in SSCI, SCIE, ESCI, or AHCI within the last year. The incentive amount will be calculated taking into account the impact factor of the journal in which the article is published, the number of authors, and the type of index it is indexed in. Applications with a final incentive amount below 100 USD will not be paid. Turkish citizens and those who have lost their citizenship are not eligible to apply to this program. Applications will be accepted until January 1, 2027, via the website basvuru.ytb.gov.tr. Applicants must first register on the Turkish Alumni Portal.
