There are scholarships in Cyprus for international students. Most of these scholarship opportunities in Cyprus tend to focus on culture, language, and archaeology as these are unique fields to Cyprus. Scholarships in Cyprus are usually offered by private organizations and are typically discipline-based, country-based, merit-based, or research-based.

The most notable organization offering scholarships in Cyprus is the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute which provides graduate archaeology students from Canada and the US with fellowship openings to pursue a research project linked to one of Cyprus’s ongoing field projects. These include the Helena Wylde Swiny and Stuart Swiny Fellowship, Anita Cecil O’Donovan Fellowship (any nationality), and Danielle Parks Memorial Fellowship (any nationality), all valued at $1,000. The Olivia James Traveling Fellowship funds travel and education in Cyprus and other Mediterranean nations. Preference is afforded to students working on their dissertation research or to post-doctoral students within 5 years of graduation. This generous award of $25,000 is given through the Archaeological Institute of America to US students.
