What an award is worth against a year's fees
A scholarship figure means nothing until you set it against what the year actually costs. These are median annual fees — over the programs billed per year — from the 632 Cyprus programs in the Global Admissions catalog, not survey estimates.

What this list does not tell you
- 11 of the 11 awards below have no single published closing date — most run on an annual cycle whose exact date the funder confirms each year. Always check the provider's own page before you plan around a deadline.
- Nationality eligibility is recorded for 1 of 11 awards. Where we show no restriction it means we could not verify one, not that none exists.
- Funding in Cyprus changes with government budgets and university intake targets. Programs get suspended between cycles, and a fully funded award one year can become partial the next.

Frequently asked questions
How many scholarships are available in Cyprus for international students?▾

Are there fully funded scholarships in Cyprus?▾
Yes. 4 of the 11 awards listed for Cyprus are recorded as covering full tuition or as a full ride including living costs. Fully funded awards are the most competitive category, and most require you to hold or be applying for admission to a specific university before you apply for the money.
How much does it cost to study in Cyprus without a scholarship?▾
Across the 632 programs at 5 institutions in Cyprus in the Global Admissions catalog, a master's degree has a median listed tuition of US$3,500 a year, with the middle half of programs falling between US$3,500 and US$4,322. Living costs sit on top of that and are not covered by a tuition-only award.
Do universities in Cyprus offer their own scholarships?▾
Yes — 11 of the 11 awards listed for Cyprus are funded by the institution rather than by a government or foundation. University awards are typically smaller than national programs but far less competitive, they are often assessed automatically from your admission application, and many can be combined with an external scholarship.
Do I need a university offer before applying for a scholarship in Cyprus?▾
It depends on the award. University-administered scholarships in Cyprus are usually assessed alongside or after your admission application, so you apply to the program first. Government and foundation programs vary: some require proof of admission at the point of application, others issue a conditional award you then take to a university. Each award page on Global Admissions records which applies.
Are scholarships in Cyprus restricted by nationality?▾
1 of the 11 awards listed here are limited to citizens of particular countries, often through a development or bilateral agreement. The remaining 10 carry no nationality restriction that we could verify, which usually means they are open to any international applicant who meets the academic criteria.
