VGM Scholarship Results 2026-2027: Dates and How to Check

Have the VGM scholarship results for 2026-2027 been announced?

Partly: the school-level results are out, the university results are not, as of 15 November 2026 ^[1]. The Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü (VGM, General Directorate of Foundations) announced on 11 November 2026 that the evaluation of ortaöğrenim applications was complete and that results could be queried ^[2]. Its scholarship page likewise gives 11 November 2026 as the date the school results were announced ^[1].

For university students the picture is different. VGM's page says that the evaluation of yükseköğrenim applications began after the Kredi ve Yurtlar Genel Müdürlüğü (KYK, the state student loan and dormitory agency) published its own scholarship results, and that university results will be announced on the VGM website once the evaluation ends ^[1]. The same page lists 6 November 2026 as the day the evaluation started ^[1].

So two groups of people are searching "VGM burs sonuçları" right now for two different reasons: families of school pupils who can already check, and university students who are still waiting. Both are covered below, with the dates, the amounts and the rules that decide who is eligible.

When will VGM university scholarship results be announced?

VGM has not published a date for the 2026-2027 university results; it says only that they will be announced on its website after the evaluation ^[1]. Habertürk also reports that VGM has made no official announcement of when the results will be released ^[8].

The order of events is fixed by the rules, which is why the KYK date matters. VGM does not give its university scholarship to students who already receive a non-repayable public scholarship, and its evaluation starts only after KYK publishes its own results ^[1][6][8]. KYK published its 2026-2027 scholarship and loan results on 6 November 2026 ^[3], and VGM started its evaluation the same day ^[1].

Past years give a rough idea, but only as history. For 2025-2026, VGM said on 12 November 2025 that the evaluation was still running ^[7], and NTV reported that the university results were published on 18 November 2025 ^[6]. If this year follows a similar pace, results in the second half of November would be consistent with that pattern, but VGM has made no such promise, and the table below separates what is confirmed from what is only a comparison.

How do I check VGM burs sonuçları?

Results are checked only through VGM's official scholarship system, linked from vgm.gov.tr, at burs.vgm.gov.tr ^[1][4]. No other website, app or messaging account can show an official result.

1. Open the official VGM website by typing the address yourself rather than following a link from a message ^[1].
2. Go to the scholarship (Burs) announcements and choose the result query for your level: ortaöğrenim for school pupils, yükseköğrenim for university students when it opens ^[1][2].
3. Enter the identity information the query screen asks for and read the status shown ^[8].
4. If you are awarded a scholarship, payments are handled by the regional directorate of foundations (Vakıflar Bölge Müdürlüğü) for the province where the student studies ^[8].

If the university result page still says the evaluation is continuing, there is nothing to do yet. Refreshing third-party "result" pages will not speed anything up, and some of them exist only to collect personal data, which VGM itself warns about ^[1].

How much is the VGM scholarship in 2026-2027?

For 2026-2027 the VGM school grant is 1,750 TL a month and the university scholarship is 4,000 TL a month ^[1]. VGM states both figures on its official scholarship page ^[1].

NTV reports that school pupils who qualify receive the grant for 9 months in each school year, from October to June ^[4]. For university students, Habertürk reports payments for 8 months, from October to May ^[8]. In the previous year VGM described the university scholarship as 3,000 TL a month for 8 months, with the first payment made retroactively from October ^[7]. That means the monthly university amount rose from 3,000 TL to 4,000 TL between the two school years, an increase of about 33% (calculated from the two VGM figures) ^[1][7].

Over a full year, 1,750 TL for 9 months adds up to 15,750 TL for a school pupil, and 4,000 TL for 8 months adds up to 32,000 TL for a university student (simple multiplication, based on the reported number of months) ^[1][4][8]. Actual totals depend on when the first payment is made and on the student remaining eligible.

Can I get a VGM scholarship if I receive KYK support?

It depends on the type of KYK support: a non-repayable KYK scholarship rules out the VGM university scholarship, a repayable KYK loan does not ^[6]. NTV cites article 5(e) of VGM's university scholarship regulation, which excludes students who receive non-repayable education aid or scholarships from public institutions, while students on repayable loans can still benefit ^[6].

This is the reason VGM waits for KYK. KYK announced its results on 6 November 2026 and asked students in Turkey to approve their commitment form (taahhütname) on e-Devlet by 23:59 on 11 November; students abroad have until 5 December ^[3]. Habertürk notes that because KYK's scholarship and its loan are treated differently, students should check their own situation against VGM's current conditions ^[8].

The rules come from two regulations that VGM lists on its page: the Foundations Regulation for school grants and the VGM Higher Education Scholarship Regulation for university students ^[1].

Is a VGM burs message on WhatsApp real?

No: VGM says it does not contact applicants through WhatsApp and does not ask for documents, a new account or money ^[1][5]. In its 11 November 2026 announcement, reported by Anadolu Agency via Yeni Şafak, the directorate repeated that applicants should follow announcements only on its official website and corporate social media accounts ^[5].

VGM's scholarship page goes further. It says that in past years false and misleading news about VGM scholarships circulated online, and that fake pages and accounts were set up to collect personal data under the pretext of taking applications ^[1]. The same warning appeared on the 2025-2026 announcement ^[7].

• Treat any message that promises a result, an "approval fee" or a faster payment as a scam ^[1].
• Never share your e-Devlet password or a one-time code with anyone who contacts you about a scholarship.
• Check results only on the official site you open yourself ^[1].

For a wider checklist on fake government texts and payment traps, see the Pouyam guide What Is Phishing? How to Recognise Fake Emails, Texts and QR Codes; the tricks it describes are the same ones used in fake scholarship messages.

What is the difference between ortaöğrenim and yükseköğrenim VGM burs?

Ortaöğrenim is the grant for primary, middle and high school pupils; yükseköğrenim is the scholarship for associate and bachelor's degree students ^[1]. They have different application windows, different results dates and different amounts.

For 2026-2027, school applications ran from 10:00 on 6 October to 23:59 on 20 October 2026, and university applications from 10:00 on 22 October to 23:59 on 31 October 2026 ^[1]. School results were published on 11 November; university results are pending ^[1][2]. The school grant is paid for 9 months, the university scholarship for 8, according to press reports ^[4][8].

VGM has given university scholarships since 2013, as part of fulfilling the charitable conditions written into historic foundation deeds (vakfiye) ^[7]. The directorate also runs a separate university scholarship for foreign students; in 2025 its evaluation ran alongside the main university list ^[7].

What happens after the results?

After a result, Habertürk reports, payments are handled by the regional directorate for the student's province, and the first payment calendar for 2026-2027 had not been fixed ^[8]. The report says payments are handled by the regional directorate of foundations for the province where the student studies, and that the first payment calendar for 2026-2027 had not been fixed as of its 9 November 2026 update ^[8].

In 2025 VGM said the first university payment would be made retroactively from October ^[7]. Whether the same applies this year should be confirmed on the result page itself. If you are not awarded a scholarship, the result screen is the official answer; VGM's page does not describe an appeal route, so any website that offers to "reverse" a decision for a fee should be treated as a scam ^[1].

Personal data entered on a fake result page can be reused for other fraud, so anyone who has already typed their details into an unofficial site should change the passwords involved; the Pouyam guide Was My Data Leaked? How to Check and What to Do After a Data Breach explains how to check whether an email address or number has appeared in a breach. The official VGM site remains the only place where the VGM decision appears ^[1].
