Established by the Eren Family in 2007, Eren Foundation continues its work to support access to education, contribute to the development of a qualified workforce, and assist students and teachers who face challenges in pursuing education due to financial constraints. To date, the Foundation has contributed to the advancement of education in Türkiye by providing scholarships to thousands of students.

Eren Foundation has established a total of 19 schools and five student dormitories in various provinces, spanning all levels of education from primary school to university.

Commenting on the award, Emir Eren emphasized that education is one of the cornerstones of social development and said: “At Eren Foundation, we believe that education is the most important investment in Türkiye’s future and continued progress. We will continue to support equal opportunities so that our young people can realise their potential. As we have done to date, we will continue working to contribute to the educational journeys of even more students.”

Aiming to contribute to Türkiye’s cultural and scientific development, Eren Foundation continues its efforts to improve the quality and accessibility of education, with a core goal of providing scholarships to more students each year.
