The European Commission announced the launch of the EU Scholarship Programme for the Turkish Cypriot community for the Academic Year 2022/23 funded under the Aid Programme, which will award grants to approximately 140 Turkish Cypriot students, graduates and professionals.
The scholarship programme is funded as part of the Aid Programme to support the reunification of Cyprus through which the EU has been providing financial assistance to the Turkish Cypriot community since 2007, in order to promote EU values and a conducive environment for further development of trust, dialogue and co-operation between the Cypriot communities, as well as to help with the integration of the Turkish Cypriot community into the wider Union.
More than 1,800 individuals in the Turkish Cypriot community have already benefited from EU Scholarship grants since 2007.
