In this study the problems of the students who were sent to abroad in the early years of the Republic are analysed within the scope of accessible data and documents. In this qualitative study the method is determined as historical research method. The students' problems are classified as internal and exogenous factors. Exogenous factors consist of social, political and economical situations (economic crisis and wars) of the country which students were sent to and organization at university/school, educational programmes and durations, financial difficulties resulting from not receiving their money on time; internal factors include age and gender differences, language problems, attitudes towards school and environment, failure in courses, health problems, family affairs. New arrangements were made after correspondence among embassy, inspector and school administration aiming at solving some of the problems but it can be stated that the problems encountered lead to extension of time in the planned studying abroad and the various breakdowns.
