Support Scholarship is a program provided to financially disadvantaged but academically successful students studying at the high school levels of public schools affiliated with the Ministry of Education. It is granted to students who meet the conditions determined by TED and whose interviews and document reviews yield positive results. Students receive support from the grade level in which they qualify for the scholarship (preparatory - 9th grade) until the completion of their university studies.

In addition to financial support in the form of pocket money to cover educational expenses, students receive academic and psychosocial monitoring. Every weekend, various training sessions are conducted under the headings of English lessons, sports, and art activities to support their social and cultural development. Support Scholarship students attend classes at TED Schools or TED University at weekends.
