The Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) has announced its scholarship program for the 2025-2026 academic year, offering more than 100 scholarships through its \u201cSYN-ENOSIS FOR EDUCATION\u201d initiative.<\/h3>\n
The program supports postgraduate studies in Greece and abroad, covering full-time master\u2019s programs lasting one or two years.<\/p>\n
Following the success of the 2024-2025 program, which distributed over \u20ac1.5 million and awarded 111 scholarships to 46 women and 65 men from 20 regions across Greece, the UGS continues its commitment to education. Last year\u2019s recipients pursued studies in 10 academic fields across 52 universities in 14 countries. Building on this, the UGS has now opened applications for its next round of funding, with a submission deadline of April 30, 2025.<\/p>\n
Among the scholarships is the prestigious \u201cAristeia\u201d award, granted to a candidate with exceptional academic performance. This year\u2019s program is the largest in the UGS\u2019s history, reflecting the Greek shipping industry\u2019s deep ties to society. \u201cIn a world where traditions are shaken and values questioned, Greek shipping, guided by our youth, strengthens and protects our foundations,\u201d said UGS President Melina Travlou. \u201cOur faith in the common good is tied to education, our culture, excellence, and a healthy, positive future.\u201d<\/p>\n
The UGS scholarship program is the largest of its kind in Greece, forming a cornerstone of the organisation\u2019s humanitarian efforts. Over recent years, the UGS has contributed more than \u20ac130 million to support education, healthcare, social welfare, food aid, public infrastructure, and crisis response.<\/p>\n
Interested applicants can find details on eligibility, requirements, and application procedures on the UGS<\/a> website, with all submissions due by April 30, 2025. This initiative underscores the UGS\u2019s ongoing dedication to fostering the next generation of Greek scholars on a global stage.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"ship2\"](\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/ship2-jpg.avif)
