Nuh Naci Yazgan University (Turkish:Nuh Naci Yazgan Üniversitesi) is a private university located in Kayseri, Turkey. It was established in 2009.
Nuh Naci Yazgan University was established by the Kayseri Higher Education and Assistance Foundation. The foundation's origins trace back to the Kayseri Education and Cooperation Association, which aimed to provide financial and moral support to students from Kayseri pursuing higher education in universities located in Ankara and Istanbul.
History
During the 1972 annual meeting of the association, it was decided to establish a foundation dedicated to bringing a university to Kayseri. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Necmettin Feyzioğlu, a commission was formed to oversee this initiative. Through their diligent efforts, the Kayseri Higher Education and Assistance Foundation was officially established on May 29, 1975, by a ruling of the Kayseri Civil Court. The foundation was founded by 63 individuals, including one legal entity, the Kayseri Education and Cooperation Association, residing in Istanbul and Kayseri.
The foundation, which was granted tax exemption by a Cabinet decision, comprises academics, bureaucrats, and business professionals as its founders. Its headquarters are located in Kayseri, with branches in Ankara and Istanbul. The foundation currently has 65 founding members and 258 honorary members. Nuh Naci Yazgan University was established in 2009 by the Kayseri Higher Education and Assistance Foundation.
The university was named after Nuh Naci Yazgan, a prominent businessman known for his contributions to Turkey's industrial development. In 1927, he, along with fellow entrepreneurs Mustafa Özgür, Nuri Has, and Seyit Tekin, purchased and operated Millî Mensucat, one of the country's oldest factories, from the Treasury. Established as the seventh textile factory in Turkey and the first in Adana, Millî Mensucat holds a significant place in the nation's industrial history.
