Türkiye's higher education scholarship programs were rebranded in 2012 under the name "Türkiye Scholarships," the Presidency has since coordinated the program for Turks Abroad and Related Communities (YTB). The primary goal of the Türkiye Scholarships is to provide equal opportunities for successful students worldwide to receive scholarship-based education that meets international standards. International students act as ambassadors for shaping Türkiye's global image. Educational mobility supports national development goals and promotes educational diplomacy as a form of soft power. Given its impact on diplomacy, academia, and the economy, understanding international students' experiences is essential. This study therefore examines the adaptation processes of students participating in educational mobility through the Türkiye Scholarships Programme. The study employs a basic qualitative research approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 Türkiye Scholarship recipients studying at Sakarya University using an interview form developed based on relevant literature. The data were analyzed through descriptive analysis. The identified themes include: "Reasons for choosing Türkiye," "Students' perceptions of intercultural adaptation—levels of proximity/distance (belonging, integration, alienation)," "Needs, opportunities provided by the program, and expectations." Findings indicate that students adapt quickly to Turkish culture, facilitated by traits such as hospitality, helpfulness, and warmth prevalent in Turkish society. While the program's academic opportunities are generally well-received, students highlighted shortcomings regarding scholarship amounts and accommodation conditions. The study's results can potentially inform the development of practices and policies to enhance understanding of intercultural adaptation processes.
