TSA Gala Istanbul 2026

In partnership with the Turkish Student Associations at Harvard, UC Berkeley, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Columbia, University of Chicago, Yale, Oxford University, Turkish students at Stanford, and Team Mostra, we are bringing the TSA Gala to life for the first time.

Students from all universities are welcome to apply, including those from the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom.

This special gathering will bring together Turkish students studying around the world, incoming first-year students preparing to begin their university journeys, and professionals who have built remarkable careers in their fields.

One of our goals is to connect incoming students with Turkish students currently enrolled at the universities they will be attending. We are also honored to welcome respected professionals whose achievements have made them names to know in their fields.

The TSA Gala is designed to create a meaningful space for connection, conversation, and celebration within the global Turkish community. Join us for a memorable evening of networking, cultural pride, and shared ambition.
