College grants provide tuition reduction (5% to 35%) to students with financial constraints. They are awarded for up to ten consecutive semesters for degree-seeking students and up to six consecutive semesters for minor-seeking students. They take effect upon approval, and their duration is determined based on the period of initial enrollment at the College. If the reduction is granted while the student is already enrolled, or in the case of readmission, the duration also depends on the number of courses remaining to complete the program.
Eligibility Requirements
In order to be considered, applicants must:
- meet all requirements for admission to the College (for entering students).
- maintain a minimum Cumulative Index (CI) of 2.20 (for continuing students).
- file taxes in Greece and provide evidence of constrained financial resources. The declared income must be sufficient to cover living expenses and a portion of college tuition.
To continue receiving the grant, recipients must:
- maintain a CI of 2.20. Entering students must achieve the minimum CI of 2.20 by the end of the first semester/session of study at the college.
- earn passing grade(s) in EAPP courses if you are under the English for Academic Purposes Program.
- register for successive Fall and Spring semesters for at least 1 course per semester and maintain this course load throughout each semester.
- continue to present evidence of constrained financial resources.
- comply with all College policies, including the Student Conduct Code.
Important Notes:
- In order to safeguard the integrity of the Financial Assistance Program, every year, a random sample of the recipients will be asked to reapply. These recipients will be notified via email.
- Recipients are obliged to inform the Financial Assistance and Planning Office of any substantial increase in their family/individual income that might alleviate the need for a need-based tuition reduction.
- As funding for financial assistance originates from the College’s own resources and from the generous contributions of donors, the College reserves the right to rename already awarded tuition reductions to named scholarships. Such conversion will serve as recognition of the recipient’s academic performance and will not alter the terms or obligations that arise from the original reduction.
