“At a time when housing costs pose a significant challenge for many Greek families, we are actively standing by our students, reducing the financial burdens associated with higher education and creating equal educational opportunities for all,” said Sofia Zacharaki, Minister of Education, Religious Affairs, and Sports.
The minister described student welfare as a “consistent priority” for the government and emphasized that the housing allowance is not merely financial assistance, but “a substantial contribution to the family budget and an investment in every young person’s ability to study with dignity, no matter where their university is located.”
She also noted that by 2030, the Ministry of Education aims to nearly double the coverage of students’ housing needs, from 7% to 15%. “Supporting the younger generation is a responsible choice and an investment in Greece’s future,” concluded Ms. Zacharaki.
For his part, the Deputy Minister of Education, Religious Affairs, and Sports, responsible for Higher Education, Nikos Papaioannou, referred to the increase in funding for the program in recent years, along with the increase in the grant itself and initiatives to develop new student housing, noting that this demonstrates that the government is “systematically investing” in public higher education and “substantially supporting” those who study away from their place of residence.
Those interested can find more information regarding the housing allowance for the 2025–2026 academic year in the relevant circular, which is posted on the Ministry of Education’s website.
