What this list does not tell you
- 11 of the 13 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 13 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. Programmes get suspended between cycles, and a fully funded award one year can become partial the next.

It depends on the award. University-administered scholarships in Cyprus are usually assessed alongside or after your admission application, so you apply to the programme first. Government and foundation programmes vary: some require proof of admission at the point of application, others issue a conditional award you then take to a university.
