Merit Aid. 10 available @ EUR 6,000

ACT strives to be not only the 1st choice, but also an affordable choice for the education of youth from Greece, the Balkans and beyond. To that end, the university awards “merit aid” to a substantial number of students in each entering class. Merit aid awards recognize and reward a student’s academic accomplishments and potential. They are strictly designed to provide the means and opportunity for students that are academically strong and otherwise qualified to afford the high quality college education available at ACT.

Application Process
To be considered for a merit award, a student’s application for admission must be received within the defined application deadlines for admission. As indicated previously, there is no need to submit a separate application for merit aid. Applicants requesting need-based financial aid must complete the separate financial aid application procedures as required. Notification regarding merit-based aid will be made along with the notice of admission, typically within 2 weeks from receipt of all required application materials. Once notified of an award, and admission, the candidate must formally “accept” the award within 2 weeks (the notice will contain a specific deadline and precise instructions). If the candidate accepts the award, a non-refundable deposit of €690 to the school’s accounts must be made within that same timeframe to assure that the monies awarded and the enrolment slot are “reserved” for the candidate.
