Help us sustain Summer Intensive Language Grants in Modern Turkish and/or Ottoman!

Have you ever received a summer language grant from ITS to learn or further your Turkish or Ottoman skills? If so, you know how invaluable these grants are.

Since 1983, we have directly supported the language development efforts of numerous scholars. No expert on Turkey or the Ottoman world could have gotten to where they have without linguistic training.

Graduate students across the United States have come to rely on our funding for learning and improving their Turkish and/or Ottoman language skills.

As a former recipient of one of our grants, or as a person who values language learning, we are asking for your help to sustain funding for summer intensive language grants.

Each language grant we award provides up to $3000 for students to travel to Turkey during summer months, where they participate in programs such as the Bosphorus University or Yildiz Technical University Turkish/Ottoman programs.

Every cent of your donation will go directly to funding students' programs and is tax deductible.

Suggested Amounts:

  • Current Students: $15 per year
  • Current Faculty: $100 per year
  • Institutional Support: $500
