TÜBİTAK Science High School to Admit 90 Elite Students for 2026

TÜBİTAK Science High School, recognized as one of Turkey's most prestigious educational centers for training future scientists, has officially started its admission process for the 2026-2027 academic year. According to reports published by the Demirören News Agency (DHA), the high school has a capacity for 90 new students this year, who will be selected from the country's scientific elite [2].

Elite Selection Process in 2026 The primary condition for entering this scientific competition is to be among the top 1% of students in the Turkish High School Entrance System (LGS). Students who achieve this threshold are eligible to participate in the TÜBİTAK Science High School Entrance Exam (TÜBİTAK FLGYS). This exam, held in July 2026, focuses on assessing analytical capabilities, critical thinking, and foundational knowledge in experimental sciences and mathematics [1]. The goal of this rigorous selection is to identify talents with high potential for advancing the frontiers of science and technology in the future.

Unique Educational and Welfare Facilities Located on the large TÜBİTAK campus in the Gebze region, the high school provides unparalleled facilities to its students. Admitted students not only benefit from high-level education provided by experienced faculty but also have direct access to TÜBİTAK's advanced research laboratories [3]. Furthermore, all 90 admitted students will receive full scholarships, free accommodation in modern dormitories, and monthly financial support to allow them to focus entirely on research and learning without concerns.

Scientific Vision and Training Future Scientists The school's curriculum is designed in close collaboration with Research and Development (R&D) centers. Throughout their education, students conduct real scientific projects under the supervision of prominent TÜBİTAK scientists. This educational approach ensures that graduates are fully prepared to enter the world's top universities and play roles in strategic national and international projects [1]. With the official announcement of results in mid-July 2026, intense competition is expected among candidates to secure one of these 90 seats [2].
