Its main goal being the enhancement of access to education for young people, the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation continues its long tradition of awarding scholarships, thus consistently supporting the dreams and efforts of students who wish to pursue postgraduate studies in universities in Greece and abroad, through the implementation of its annual Postgraduate Scholarships Programme. For the academic year 2023-2024, the Postgraduate Scholarships Programme focused on scientific fields of Engineering and Applied Sciences that are linked to the 4IR (Industry 4.0), such as: Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, Quantum Computing, Programming Languages, Cybersecurity etc. The evaluation process takes into account several criteria, placing particular emphasis on academic achievement, the quality of the postgraduate curriculum, as well as the educational development and future aspirations of candidates, having regard to their social and economic situation.

• To date, over 2,310 undergraduate and postgraduate students have received funding through scholarship programmes.
• In 2023, the Foundation supported a total of 51 postgraduate scholars, who studied in Greece and abroad.
• For the academic year 2023-2024, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Greece and Sweden have been the top 5 countries of preference for postgraduate scholarship candidates.

“The valuable support I received from the Latsis Foundation signifies an important recognition of my academic efforts. As I continued my studies abroad, the support provided by the Foundation alleviated my financial worries, allowing me to continue my educational journey with dedication. The Foundation’s scholarship honours and inspires me to focus on the field of Artificial Intelligence, which is rapidly evolving and requires constant attention and commitment from the scientific community. I sincerely thank the Foundation for the perspectives it has opened up for me, entrusting its confidence in my potential.”

“The scholarship I received from the Foundation supported me at one of the most crucial times in my life. Coming from a low-income family, the opportunity to study at Imperial College London was a dream that seemed out of reach. Thanks to the generous support of the Foundation, this dream became a reality. The resources offered to me, in addition to the financial support, were an indicator of confidence in me and my abilities. Without this scholarship, it would have been practically impossible to continue my studies.”
