Parents do not need to apply for Merit Scholarships. They are awarded to students who have excelled, based on their cumulative score in absolute order of merit/ranking.

In the event that there is an insufficient number of successful candidates who meet the above criteria, some or all of the Merit Scholarships may not be awarded. In case f a tie, the total amount of the scholarship will be split evenly among tie-breakers. 

In case the scholarship is not awarded to any recipients for any reason, the Scholarship will not be transferred to the next ranked students.

The deep-rooted policy of the College’s Financial Support Scholarship Program has been to consider requests from parents who are experiencing financial difficulties. Ιndicatively, in the school year 2023-2024, more than 450 students were supported by the Program, with an amount that exceeded €3,200,000.

Families of students who do not receive a full Merit Scholarship will be entitled to apply to the Financial Support Scholarship Program. Financial Support Scholarships are granted based upon the Program's criteria.
