The Ministry of Youth and Sports has signed a memorandum of understanding with 11 schools and 3 private education associations today, following the text of the agreement that provides 100% scholarship opportunities to national athletes in 52 foundation universities, private schools, and colleges affiliated with the Private Education Association.
Bahçeşehir Uğur Educational Institutions Chairman (BUEK) Enver Yucel, emphasized the importance of education in sport saying; “We offer scholarships worth 120 million to total students across all of Turkey, in all the branches.”
Enver Yücel stated that as Bahçeşehir Uğur Educational Institutions, they support more than a thousand athletes from pre-school to university, “Today was a good day, the institutions that support national athletes came together with the participation of our dear minister. In our educational institutions, we attach great importance especially to the creation of athlete’s infrastructure. Upon having basketball teams across Turkey, we are continuing to push forward, providing the title of national athletes to almost 9 thousand students as we do in every field. Our student number is around 100 thousand and it is unthinkable for us to provide an education to these students without including sports. Education, sports, and arts should go hand in hand. If we want to achieve success in sports in a country, we need to start this from education, as should every field. Concerning this, we offer scholarships worth 120 million to total of our students in all branches throughout Turkey. Therefore, our goal in the coming years is to make our students love sports and to raise students who will rise to the world arena with sports and wave our glorious flag. That’s why we workday and night.”
