Greek State Scholarship Foundation (IKY)

IKY is the primary national body in Greece responsible for awarding scholarships. They administer a wide variety of programs, including government-funded awards, co-funded EU projects, and bilateral exchange programs. It highly supports fields like classical studies, engineering, and digital innovation.
