Student grants
A 'student grant' can be awarded to short cycle and 1st and 2nd cycle students to support their studies in Cyprus
or abroad. To be eligible students must have resided in Cyprus for at least five years before enrolment. The
amount of the grant is based on family income. The annual amount ranges from EUR 1 450 to EUR 3 420.
The 'student allowance' is a targeted need-based grant to cover living, books, rental, and computer expenses of
1st cycle students based on their socioeconomic status. The amount is EUR 3 692 per year. A new Student
Welfare Service is established to manage the student grant and the student allowances.
The State Scholarship Foundation awards scholarships based on students' academic performance and socio-
economic status. Students studying in 1st cycle programmes may receive up to EUR 3 000 per year, in 2nd cycle
programmes EUR 4 000 per year, and EUR 4 000 in a PhD programme (3rd cycle).
