SOCIAL PROJECTS

By adopting the motto "Humanity comes first!", by continuing to work honestly and knowing how to share...

In the first year of its establishment, a Science High School was built in Bitlis for talented young people so that they should be educated in more modern conditions and also a dormitory for the students, who would study at this school. And this facility was assigned to the Ministry of Education in 2008. Of the students studying at this High School, 170 of the young people, who obtained the right to go to universities, were awarded scholarships in the amount of 600, 750, 1000 TRY according to their ranks in the exam.

A one-time gift of 10.000 TRY was presented to a student, who graduated from Hikmet Kiler Science High School and who received the highest score in the YKS (Higher Education Board Examination System) held in 2021.
