Achieving the sustainability goal of "healthy individuals" requires first and foremost the provision of basic needs for people, including their healthcare needs. There is a health center on the campus that provides free health services with two general practitioners, two psychotherapists, two dentists, and a nurse.

The scholarships are divided under three main headings (YÖK Scholarships, Gebze Teknik Education and Research Foundation Scholarships, GTU Youth Association Scholarships). The types of scholarships include YÖK 100/2000 Doctoral Scholarship, YÖK Undergraduate Support Scholarship, YUDAB (Overseas Research Scholarships), need-based scholarships, earthquake scholarships, meal scholarships, and cybersecurity scholarships. A total of 383 students benefit from these scholarships in 2023-2024 Academic year.

The Center for Women and Family Studies at GTU (GTÜ KUAM) raises awareness through seminars and activities, while the Accessible GTU Unit carries out activities to make life easier for disabled individuals on campus.

At GTU, various studies are conducted both within the academic framework and within the university-industry collaboration framework to end poverty by taking poverty as a multidimensional concept beyond income poverty. In addition to articles and courses including the studies of our academics on social exclusion and poverty, our university contributes as a third party to a Horizon 2020 project, which involves interventions on energy poverty. GTU also provides technical support to projects aimed at strengthening the social inclusion of vulnerable groups and increasing their resilience in the face of earthquake disasters.
