HFRI PhD Candidate Scholarships
Helps HFRI PhD Candidate Scholarships for doctoral candidates conducting thesis research at Greek universities.
The Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation's PhD Candidate Scholarships are national fellowships for doctoral candidates preparing a thesis at Greek Higher Educational Institutions. The program sits under HFRI, Greece's public research funding body, and it is built for individuals rather than universities, companies, or research centres. The most recent fifth call offered a monthly stipend of €900 for 23 to 36 months and funded about 500 awards from a €4.6 million budget. The program is open to candidates based in Greece, with applications handled in Greek and English. Calls are issued roughly every one to two years, so the cadence is regular but not annual. For applicants, the key test is whether the doctoral project is already anchored in a Greek institution and can sustain a multi-year fellowship. The scheme is useful for researchers who need living support for thesis work, but it is not a project-development grant and does not fund companies, consortia, or institutional infrastructure.
