Founded by the contributions of the CBRT and the Bank of Greece after the 1999 earthquake, the Central Bank Derince Anatolian High School, which opened its doors to students in the 2001-2002 academic year, held no graduation ceremony in 2020 due to the pandemic. Since 2002, the CBRT has been awarding scholarships to graduates of this high school who have enrolled in a university and who satisfy specific criteria. Reaching a total of 120, there were 37 scholarship recipients in 2020, eight of whom were awarded in the 2020-2021 academic year.
As part of the Financial Support Program for Academic Studies, financial support was provided to four out of the five conferences that applied for it.
In the context of corporate social responsibility activities, the CBRT donated 2,099 miscellaneous furniture items (tables, chairs, computers, carpets, cameras, IT devices, etc.) to 25 public institutions in 2020.
The Bank contributed by TRY 100,000,000 to the campaign called “We are Self-Sufficient, Turkey” to foster national solidarity and support those to be hit the worst by the measures taken in response to the global coronavirus outbreak.
