Scholarships in Greece

Greece has a very long tradition of education and despite its poor economic circumstances Greece continues to maintain its scholarship system, which is administered through the IKY, or State Scholarship Foundation. All Greek and EU scholarships are centrally coordinated through this organization. There are no fees at Greek universities in first-cycle (Bachelor’s) level but post-graduate levels have fees ranging from 3,625 to 12,000 €.

Only one in eight secondary school graduates with good grades apply for scholarships. This is because many have misconceptions about getting funding. Here are some of the common misconceptions.
