INTRODUCTION
1.1
The Objective, Scope and History of the Jean Monnet Scholarship
Programme
During our country’s negotiation process for full membership to the European Union, important
responsibilities fall upon every segment of the society from public institutions to the private
sector, and from non-governmental organizations to the universities. For this reason, there is a
need for individuals who can closely follow and are specialized on EU-related issues from
different segments of the society. In accordance with this need, the Jean Monnet Scholarship
Programme, a project funded by the European Union (EU), aims to increase the number of
experts in the EU field and support Turkey’s administrative capacity building efforts for the
effective implementation of EU acquis within the framework of Turkey’s negotiation process for
full membership to the EU.
The Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme began in the 1990-1991 academic year by providing
its first scholars educational opportunities in the EU member countries. It is one of Turkey’s
most long running projects. Over the course of nearly 25 years, the Jean Monnet Scholarship
Programme was implemented in three different phases. During the initial implementation
period of the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme between 1990 and 2002, the aim of the
programme was to increase the existing knowledge and experience in Turkey regarding the
European integration, and to support the human resources qualified on these subjects. In line
with the developments in Turkey-EU relations, the main priority during the second
implementation period between 2002 and 2006 has been the use of the Scholarship Programme
for the enhancement of the human resources that would be necessary during the accession
process.
The first two periods of the Programme were conducted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
the Delegation of the European Union to Turkey, respectively. Jean Monnet Scholarship
Programme is now being conducted by the Ministry for European Union Affairs since the
2007-2008 academic year in cooperation with the Central Finance and Contracts Unit and the
Delegation of the European Union to Turkey.
The application and evaluation processes of the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme are under
the responsibility of the Central Finance and Contracts Unit. The Central Finance and Contracts
Unit is also the Contracting Authority of the Scholarship Programme. The scholarship
agreements are signed between the Central Finance and Contracts Units and the awardees.
The Ministry for European Union Affairs is the Implementing Authority responsible for the
effective conduct of the scholarship programme. The Ministry for European Union Affairs is
responsible for the announcement and promotion of the scholarship programme, the placement
of the scholars to suitable academic programmes, the monitoring of the scholars during and
after their education, the provision of all types of support for the scholars and the establishment
of sustainable communication channels with the scholars.
The Ministry for European Union Affairs and the Central Finance and Contract Unit are
conducting all of the abovementioned activities with the support of the Delegation of the
European Union to Turkey.
Employees of public and private sector institutions and non-governmental organizations; senior
undergraduate, master’s and PhD students, and academic and administrative staff of universities
could apply to the Scholarship Programme. Until now, nearly 1800 individuals have benefited
from this scholarship.
3
People who are awarded the scholarship could enroll at a master’s or research programme with
a duration of minimum 3 and maximum 12 months at a university or equivalent institution in
one of the EU member countries.
In accordance with the aim of the Scholarship Programme, Jean Monnet Scholarships are
granted for master’s and research studies that will be performed on subjects directly related to
Turkey’s EU harmonization process and EU acquis. For this reason, scholarships are awarded
exclusively for studies on the EU acquis chapters listed in the announcement. These acquis
chapters are as follows: Free Movement of Goods, Free Movement of Workers, Right of
Establishment and Freedom to Provide Services, Free Movement of Capital, Public Procurement,
Company Law, Intellectual Property Law, Competition Policy, Financial Services, Information
Society and Media, Agriculture and Rural Development, Food Safety, Veterinary and
Phytosanitary Policy, Fisheries, Transport Policy, Energy, Taxation, Economic Criteria or
Economic and Monetary Policy, Statistics, Social Policy and Employment, Enterprise and
Industrial Policy, Trans-European Networks, Regional Policy and Coordination of Structural
Instruments, Judiciary and Fundamental Rights, Justice, Freedom and Security, Science and
Research, Education and Culture, Environment, Consumer and Health Protection, Common
Trade Policy (Customs Union and/or External Relations), Financial Control, Foreign, Security
and Defence Policy.
Tuition fee, living expenses (food and drink, accommodation, etc.) and a fixed amount for
various allowances (one time only allowance for travel, books, thesis, visa, study visit,
health-related expenses, registration to local authorities and any tax liabilities and similar expenses)
are covered within the scope of the scholarship.
In addition to its contribution to the increase in the number of experts needed in EU-related
disciplines, the Scholarship Programme has, for a long time, also been contributing to the
establishment of a civil society dialogue between the EU and Turkey.
1.2
Scholarship Announcement and Selection Process
Scholarship announcements are made during the third or fourth quarter of the year. Applicants
who pass the preliminary evaluation phase by presenting the requested documents in full and in
the required format, will be entitled to the scholarship according to their initially written and
then oral exam performance which are conducted in one of the official EU official languages that

2.3
The 2014-2015 Academic Year in Numbers
184 applicants out of 967 who applied for the 2014-2015 academic year scholarships could not
pass the preliminary evaluation due to failure in meeting the application criteria of the
scholarship (language skills, undergraduate grade average, etc.) and/or due to incomplete
application documents.
109 aplicants out of 783 who were entitled to take the written exam did not attend the exam for
various reasons (health problems, different scholarship opportunities, inability to obtain
approval from their institutions etc.).
41 applicants out of 378 who were entitled to take the oral exam did not attend the exam for
various reasons (health problems, different scholarship opportunities, inability to obtain
approval from their institution, etc.).
Within the context of the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme, which is of great importance
especially for the administrative capacity building efforts of our public institutions during the EU
accession process, the allocated quota for public institution is 60% per each academic year,
while the quotas for universities and public sector are 30% and 10%, respectively. When we
examine the picture after the placement of the scholars as of 16 February 2015, it can be seen
that 86 scholars out of 170 are public sector employees, 63 are university students or
academic/administrative staff, and 21 are private sector employees.

When the statistics of the previous years of the Jean Monnet Scholarship Programme are
examined, it could be seen that the distribution of the scholarships according to gender has been
balanced. During the 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2012-2013, 2013-2014
1 Main List: The list of scholars who were awarded the scholarship according to the annoucement on
August 13th 2014.
2 The list is formed by sequentially inviting candidates from the reserve list in the place of scholars who,
although being on the main list, withdrew their right to use their scholarships as of 16 February 2015.
3 Although the number of applicants who actually took the written exam was 674, data on the sectoral
6
and 2014-2015 academic years, the percentage of women scholars was respectively 63%, 56%,
61%, 51%, 51%,%52 and %49.

applications were made from Ankara, where there is a large number of public institutions and
universities. The percentage of applications from Istanbul was 30% where there is also a large
number of private sector organizations and universities. Although the percentage of applications
from cities other than Istanbul and Ankara was fairly low, the facts that applications were
actually received from 50 different provinces, and that applicants from 22 different provinces
have took the written exam were a positive and promising improvement.
Another encouraging improvement during this academic year was the increase in the number of
scholarship awardees from provinces other than Ankara and Istanbul (20 scholars from Adana,
Amasya, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Eskişehir, Gaziantep, İzmir, Kahramanmaraş, Karabük, Muğla,
Sakarya, Şanlıurfa and Tekirdağ).
