The Harris Kyriakides Foundation, in collaboration with the University of Oxford, established the Harris Kyriakides Scholarship in 2023 to support outstanding law students from Cyprus. The scholarship is awarded to a Greek Cypriot or a Turkish Cypriot student pursuing legal studies at the University of Oxford, reflecting the Foundation’s commitment to academic excellence, merit, and inclusivity.

The scholarship forms part of a five-year programme running from 2023, under which the Harris Kyriakides Foundation provides funding of £10,000 per award. Scholarships were awarded in 2023 and 2024; no award is made in 2025.

Applications are submitted electronically to [email protected] by the end of April of each year. The selection decision is announced on 10 May and is based on academic merit and the candidate’s demonstrated potential to make a positive and lasting impact on the Cyprus legal order. Each application must include:
• a cover letter explaining how the candidate aims to contribute positively to the legal system of Cyprus, and
• a curriculum vitae (CV).

Any queries regarding the scholarship or the application process should be directed to [email protected].
