Karadeniz Technical University (KTU) provides a free lunch scholarship for students. In 2024, 400 students benefited from this support. The scholarship helps students meet their basic nutritional needs, contributing to their continued academic success. The program is funded by the Department of Health, Culture and Sports, and applications are received by the Scholarship and Aid Office at the beginning of each academic year.

Following an assessment of social and economic status, eligible students receive one free lunch per day at the university dining hall. This practice directly advances the university’s goals of promoting equal opportunity and mitigating the impacts of poverty.
