Shaped by the vision of its founding president, the late Safaî Özer, EGET has provided scholarship support to 245 university students to date. Using its digital evaluation system BUSED for fair scholarship distribution, the foundation has also developed a social entrepreneurship model that generates its own income through investments in lavender fields, olive groves, and organic farming.

EGET TEN cosmetic products and award-winning olive oils, produced through the foundation's economic enterprise, are transformed into a scholarship fund, providing resources for education. The Memecik olive oil, which won a gold medal in London in 2025, is the most recent example of these achievements.

EGET also gained international support in the field of environmental education through the European Union-supported HEEFTA project. Furthermore, the foundation, participating in the Step by Step Running Platform, provided scholarships to 15 students with the 328,000 TL it collected at the Eskişehir Half Marathon.

EGET, which has also entered the personal care sector with its new brand "Efilyun," continues to grow its education fund with its environmentally conscious production approach.

The EGET Foundation Board of Directors stated, "Our aim is to show that a life in harmony with nature and befitting human dignity is possible by providing scholarships to more young people."
