Scholarships for gifted students
Through our sponsorship, we help CTY Greece award scholarships to gifted and talented primary and high-school students from Greece and Cyprus so they can attend the summer programmes in Athens and Thessaloniki.
CTY Greece awards the scholarships to students based on their academic skills and their grades in the exams it holds.
We want to give the chance to as many as we can, and offer the opportunity to financially weaker students cultivate their natural talents and aptitudes.

CTY Greece
CTY Greece was established in 2013 as a result of the partnership between Anatolia College and the internationally recognised Johns Hopkins University, with a founding donation by Stavros Niarchos Foundation. It offers special educational programmes to students who stand out for their talents and skills. It operates under the auspices of the Greek Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Education and Culture of Cyprus.
CTY internationally
Every year more than 30,000 talented students attend the CTY programmes internationally.
Mark Zuckenberg, co-founder of Facebook is among the alumni, as well as Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, scientists, researchers, roboticists, artists etc.
The educational programmes
CTY Greece offers interactive educational programmes – summer, weekend and online – for students of different age groups who have passed the exams it holds.
Specifically, the 4 summer programmes give students from 7th to 11th grade the chance to participate in high-level courses, with students of their age who have the same competences and share the same love for knowledge.
All available courses cover a wide range of scientific fields.
The courses for high-school students are taught in English.
