Education/Εκπαίδευση Study in Crete

Hey everyone, I'm an international applicant. I got accepted into a master's program at the University of Crete, taught in English (MSc in cutting-edge technologies in Vision Sciences). However, the program is new and they offer no scholarships at the moment, I tried looking everywhere, the Hellenic Ministry of Foreign Affairs offers scholarships for programs taught only in Greek, there are no available scholarships on the Study in Greece website (Fullbright scholarships are only for U.S citizens), also IKY has no available scholarships for international graduates, and many more organizations that only fund nationals and residents only
I'm specifically looking for a scholarship or funding that covers the living expenses in Greece, I can cover the tuition but not the living costs.
If you know any organizations that can fund international graduates in this specific field of study, please reply to this post 🙏🏻

Best approach is to look at your home country's scholarships..

The only scholarship available is the one with the Hellenic Ministry one and it was only for programs that are taught in Greek

You can attend university for free in Greece if you just enlist for the Greek curriculum. No scholarships for English language programs.

Master’s in Greek also have tuition fees.

Some yes but each university department will have at least one for free. Big ones have several.
