Eligible for grants, loans/scholarships
Financial support is provided in the form of scholarships from the state as well as the higher education institutions. Each higher education institution has its own scholarship programme/policy.
Public tertiary education
Cypriot students receive a government grant for their tuition and therefore pay no fees. Foreign students pay tuition fees, apart from EU students who are exempted.
Private schools of tertiary education
Tuition fees for private tertiary education institutions are paid by the students. Scholarships are offered to excellent local students entering such institutions. Grants may also be given by the institutions to students who excel academically or in sports in the course of their studies, and to students facing serious financial difficulties. In certain cases, the government supports students belonging to groups with special financial needs.
