Marmara University is targeting zero hunger among students and staff.

Free Drinking Water

Water dispensers have been installed at various locations to ensure that students have access to free drinking water.

 

Marmara University is intervening to prevent hunger.

In 2023, the university provided the Marmara Lunch Scholarship (free lunch) to students. Efforts are ongoing to support more students. Additionally, some students received accommodation scholarships.

Our university provides a meal scholarship through the Health, Culture, and Sports Department for students experiencing financial difficulties. This scholarship allows them to benefit from the free lunch service offered at the university’s cafeteria.

 

Sustainable and Affordable Food Options for Everyone

At our campuses, an average of 10,000 students and staff benefit from the cafeteria services daily. Lunch and dinner services are available at our Göztepe, Anadoluhisarı, and Bağlarbaşı campuses, while lunch services are provided at Acıbadem, Kartal, Başıbüyük, and Sultanahmet campuses. Annually, approximately 1,500,000 meals are served to students and staff across all campuses.

The meal services at our campuses are procured through a tender process. The contractor delivers meals to our campuses in thermal boxes that prevent heat and air transfer. Our department’s control team ensures the suitability of the meals before they are served. Daily samples of the meals are taken and stored under appropriate conditions for 72 hours. If necessary, or once a month, these samples are sent to authorized laboratories for analysis.

All food sales points offer various sustainable food options. Every Marmara University campus features cafeterias, canteens, and cafés. These facilities provide primary alternatives in the form of vegan and catering meals. In the cafeterias, vegetarian main courses are adapted to be suitable for gluten sensitivities by removing ingredients such as wheat, flour from their recipes. Vegan/vegetarian options are available at the same price as other choices. Different cafés also offer alternative options.
