Exemption from tuition fees

Students of the IPGP are exempt from tuition fees if they meet the financial or social criteria of the article 86 of Law 4957/2022. A prerequisite for prospective students to be granted the right to study free of charge due to economic or social criteria is to have excelled during the first cycle of studies, which corresponds to having acquired a grade at least equal to or higher than seven and a half out of ten (7.5/10), provided the evaluation, leading to the basic degree presented for admission to the IPGP,  has been conducted by the ten-point evaluation scale of the Higher Educational Institution (HEI) of Greece, otherwise this criterion is applied proportionally according to the respective evaluation scale, as long as the degree presented has been granted from a foreign Higher Educational Institution.

Exempt students should not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total number of students admitted to the IPGP per academic year. If the beneficiaries exceed the above percentage, they are selected in order of ranking starting from those with the lowest income.

The application for exemption from tuition fees is submitted after the completion of the selection and registration process of the students at the IPGP.

In accordance with article 3 of the ministerial decision 108990/Z1/08.09.2022:

• This exemption from tuition fees is granted for participation in a single Postgraduate Programme of Greece.
• Those receiving a scholarship from another source are not entitled to exemption.
• Citizens of third countries do not have the right to apply for exemption from the obligation to pay tuition fees in IPGP.
