Mehmet Zorlu Foundation
It raises generations that dream, believe in themselves and have confidence.
Recognizing that the future of a society hinges on the strength of its well-educated generations, the Mehmet Zorlu Foundation proudly extends its support to 2000 students annually through its scholarship program. The Mehmet Zorlu Foundation has successfully empowered over 30 thousand students through the program, preparing them for a secure future.
Mehmet Zorlu had another dream: to provide to other people that he could not have in his lifetime. In particular, to do something that will provide education and cultural opportunities for young people... Just like Zorlu Holding started with the dreams of Zorlu family, Mehmet Zorlu Foundation started with his dream.
Mehmet Zorlu Foundation, founded in 1999, started its activities with the goal of contributing to the growth of generations that dream, believe in and trust in themselves; supporting of young people in education, culture and health, helping them get one step ahead in life.
