Hi all!
I live in Turkey. My sister got accepted by the government to send for doctorate education to United Kingdom. However they denied her at the third year (they could’ve done that at the first year and the damage wouldn’t be this big but here we are). Anyway, since it didn’t end successfully, now the government wants back the school tuition and housing fee they paid for my sister.
We definitely don’t have that kind of money and government will go to collect the fee through enforcement way. Even thinking about this is horrifying.
I don’t know any other idea other than this but I have never done this before so I have no idea if it’s a good one or not.
Do you think it’s viable to think having a funding campaign would help? What would you do? Should I do this? I don’t even know where to start honestly.
Thank you for your reply!
Sorry for lack of my English, but it went like this: At the third year, the professor that supervise my sister decided that she is not suitable for the doctorate. And apparently they made my sister to fill a form about them that make things legally clear for them. She noticed this after returning and cut ties with the university.
Contact a lawyer.
Bu nasıl burs onu anlamadım, önceki dönem ücretini istemeleri için nasıl bir yasal dayanak var? Her türlü bir avukata danışmanı öneririm.
There’s a somewhat similar system in Finland I’d say.
I got union money after I got sick and stopped working at my job. I could’ve just decided to do nothing, but I went to a graphic design school, as I asked and the way it was explained to me was quitting it won’t affect anything, so it’d be fine to go and swe whether it is for me. I had good grades but stopped after a year, not my thing.
Then the union, or rather a union replacing general union unemployment register or whatnot, demanded all the money back from the year I had been there. Despite me being able to show I had success. Despite me having asked would this specific scenario happen and them having had said “no”.
But it did. I complained and the way it was resolved was “oh even though we acknowledge it wasn’t his fault, we still want half”.
Açıkçası ne kadar avukatlık durum var bilmiyorum, ama teknik olarak bu bir karşılıksız burs değil. Gittiğin ülkede kaldığın sürenin iki katı devletin herhangi atadığı bir yerde (genellikle üniversiteler oluyor) çalışmak karşılığında gönderiyorlar. Ve şimdi işin içine icra girecek gibi görünüyor. Çok stresli.
