The American University of Cyprus - Admissions - Scholarship

Scholarships and Financial aid Program

Merit Scholarships: Students with outstanding academic qualifications are eligible for merit scholarships.

Financial Aid: Financial Aid is awarded on the basis of need first and then academic performance. To be eligible for financial aid, an undergraduate student must be accepted or enrolled at AUCY on a full-time basis. An undergraduate student is considered a full-time student if registered for 24 credits and above during the Fall and Spring semester. Students must also demonstrate financial need and be in good academic standing (showing satisfactory academic performance).

Siblings: When two or more siblings are enrolled at AUCY during the same period, they are entitled to a fee reduction provided that they are enrolled on a full-time basis.

Athletic Scholarships: AUCY offers Athletic Scholarships for students who are eligible to be varsity team members.
The main objective of the Athletic Scholarship is to provide talented students, who play sports, the opportunity to study at AUCY and compete in university sports. To qualify, the student should be affiliated with a National Team or Club (first or second division) and have a proven record of accomplishments at school, and a good team spirit. The Scholarship percentage given to these Athlete students varies depending on their performance levels and the needs of the Office of Athletics, Wellness, and Recreation.

Student Work: Some applicants may receive additional Financial Aid in the form of work-study by requesting it through a petition submitted to the Office of Financial Aid. The amount will be deducted from the students’ tuition fee on a monthly basis provided that in return he/she commits to work a number of hours per month during the Fall and Spring semesters of an Academic Year. The work type and place will be assigned to the student by the Office of Financial Aid, and sent to the Office of Student Affairs (SAO) for a monthly follow up on the work done.
