Cyprus State Scholarship Foundation (CSSF) is a partial funding scholarship offered by Cyprus State Scholarship Foundation (CSSF / IKYK) for students pursuing studies in Cyprus. The award covers Up to EUR 3,000 per year for first-cycle (undergraduate) programmes and up to EUR 4,000 per year for second-cycle (postgraduate/master's) programmes and is open to undergraduate (first-cycle) and postgraduate (second-cycle) students studying all academic fields offered by eligible cypriot institutions. The scholarship runs for one academic year per award cycle, renewable for the standard duration of the degree and may be renewed annually based on academic performance. Eligibility is generally based on applicants are assessed either purely on academic performance or on a combination of academic performance and socio-economic (financial need) criteria, depending on the specific scholarship category administered by CSSF. Because CSSF administers multiple distinct award categories rather than one uniform scheme, the specific documentation required (income statements for the need-based category, transcripts for the merit-only category) differs by which category an applicant is assessed under. The application deadline is announced annually on the official scholarship page. Competition for this scholarship varies year to year, so early preparation of required documents is recommended.
