The programme will award ten scholarships of €10,000 each to Cypriot citizens or Greek citizens residing in Cyprus, aiming to pursue undergraduate or postgraduate studies abroad in shipping-related fields.
Eligible countries include Greece, the United Kingdom, and others.
The scholarships target studies in disciplines such as Naval Architecture, Marine and Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence, Shipping Law and related sectors. Applicants will be assessed based on academic performance and social criteria, including family status and income.
High school graduates must hold a university acceptance letter and demonstrate a Cyprus Baccalaureate score of at least 18.0 or A-level grades in Mathematics or Physics of minimum B.
Undergraduate and postgraduate students already enrolled abroad must meet minimum grade requirements, such as an annual average above 60 per cent (2:1) for UK universities or a ‘Very Good’ average at other institutions.
