SCHOLARSHIPS GREEK AT UNIVERSITIES AND TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION INSTITUTES FROM GREECE GOVERNMENT 2010-2011

100 Scholarships From Greece Government 2010-2011

Within the framework of international development cooperation and assistance, each year, Hellenic Aid grants approximately 100 scholarships to foreign and expatriate students deriving from developing countries for graduate and postgraduate studies at Greek universities and technological education institutes.


The Scholarships Programme includes all tertiary educational institutions and subjects, except from graduate studies in Theology (the relevant scholarships are granted by the Directorate for Religious and Ecclesiastic Affairs of the MFA) and Fine Arts as well as postgraduate studies in Medicine.

Every year, Hellenic Aid issues a relevant Call for Interest that specifies the countries, the nationals of which are eligible for a scholarship, and the number of scholars per country. Upon issuance, the Call for Interest is forwarded to the Greek diplomatic and consular authorities in these countries.
By the end of June, all interested students submit a scholarship grant application, indicating up to three educational departments, which they would like to attend, as well as all the necessary supporting documents, to the Greek authority of their country of origin, which forwards them to the Scholarships Unit of Hellenic Aid Directorate 4.

In September, Hellenic Aid evaluates all submitted applications and selects the scholars for the following academic year, announcing the results to all applicants, via the Greek authorities in the recipient countries.

At the commencement of the academic year, the selected scholars are obliged to contact the competent Hellenic Aid Department, in order to enroll in the Scholars Register and sign the Scholarship Award Contract. They should have already been granted a student visa by the Greek consular authority of their country of origin.
