Student grants
There are no standard scholarships. Depending on funds available from the state budget, ESIF or private funds 
managed  by  IKY  (State  Scholarship  Foundation),  a  call  for  applications  for  grants  is  published.  Awards  and 
scholarships may be offered by higher education institutions, according to students' academic performance and 
financial status. Part-time students are not eligible for IKY grants. 
Grant/scholarships are also offered by research institutions/non-profit/benefit foundations to first, second cycle and 
PhD students. Eligibility/selection criteria are age, grades (for 2nd cycle), foreign languages, work experience and 
socio-economic status. 
The scholarships awarded by the Hellenic Open University cover the full amount or part of the student fees per 
academic year if a combination of economic, social and academic criteria is met by the student.
