Deadlines for this scholarship
An award closing is only the first of the dates that matter. After it there is the deposit that keeps your place, the unconditional offer the funder wants to see before it pays, and a last day to arrive and register. Where the funder publishes none of these, the row says so — a blank is what the official page actually says, not something we have left out.

The official announcement states the 2026 application dates as 10 January - 20 February 2026 - a closed round - and no 2027 IsDB call has been announced, so no date is carried into 2027 - https://www.turkiyeburslari.gov.tr/announcements/ytb-islamic-development-bank-isdb-joint-scholarship-program-2026-applicaiton-period-122 (checked 30 October 2026).
