The State Scholarships Foundation (IKY) has a long history in granting scholarships to foreign Nationals for postgraduate studies and postdoctoral research in Greece which are being offered since 1964. From 1992 and onwards scholarships are also offered for the study of Greek Language and Culture. They are awarded following a selection process and cover all academic disciplines.
Scholarships for postgraduate studies and postdoctoral research are not open for this year.
Scholarships for the Modern Greek Language and Culture (2017-2018) are open.
IKY periodically (not all rounds of programmes launched) fund awards (scholarships) which are offered to the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in order to cover part of their Schemes for “Greek Language and Culture summer courses” through THYESPA and IASON programmes respectively.
