I'm thinking about studying in Cyprus and was wondering if universities there offer scholarships for international students. Does anyone have experience or information about how to get scholarships there?
Cyprus universities do offer scholarships for international students, though the extent and availability of these can vary depending on the university and level of study. Here are some examples:
1. Eastern Mediterranean University: EMU often provides scholarships for international students which can cover anywhere between 25% to 100%. These are mainly based on academic achievement. The university has all the information on its website.
2. University of Cyprus: This university provides several scholarships to international students at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. These scholarships can cover tuition and, in some instances, provide a stipend for living costs.
3. Cyprus International University: This university also offers scholarships depending on academic excellence, which can cover up to 100% of tuition.
To apply, you normally need to complete the relevant scholarship section on the application forms for these universities. Be prepared to provide academic transcripts, test scores, letters of recommendation, and potentially a personal statement. It's always a good idea to also reach out directly to the international admissions offices of these universities for more detailed, up-to-date information about their scholarships.
Moreover, sites like Appily can be useful for searching a wider scope of scholarship opportunities.
Keep in mind, many scholarships are competitive, so starting the application process early can be highly beneficial. Good luck!
