Attestation process of documents *
Students are required to attest the following documents by the appropriate/relevant authorities in their home country:

The attestation process differs between countries that have signed the Hague Convention, 1961 (Apostille) and those who have not. Attested documents must be in English; in cases where translations are necessary, these must be done by an approved translator and attested by the relevant authorities in home country.

Students applying from countries that have signed the Hague Convention, 1961 (Apostille): i.e. India
Students must have their documents attested by the designated, competent government authority which is authorized to affix the Apostille on their documents. The Ministry of Justice or Ministry of Foreign Affairs is usually the government body that issues the Apostille.

Students applying from countries that have not signed the Hague Convention 1961 (Apostille) but have a Cyprus Representation in their home country: i.e. Pakistan, Nepal, Cameroon, Nigeria, and Bangladesh
Students must have their documents attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in their home country and then further attested by the Cyprus Embassy, High Commission or Consulate.

Students applying from China
Based on bilateral agreements between Cyprus and China, students must have their documents attested by the Ministry of Justice. There is no need for the documents to be further attested by the Cyprus Embassy.

Students applying from Russia and Serbia
Based on bilateral agreements between Cyprus, Russian and Serbian students are exempted from the above procedures, provided all their documents are officially signed and stamped by the issuing authority.

F. Scholars Obligations:
1. The Departmental Council may decide to suspend, reduce or terminate a scholarship in a particular student if it considers that special circumstances so require (e.g. reasons for the academic performance of fellow).
2. The Departmental Council will consider renewal of the scholarship provided that the student’s academic performance is satisfactory. The performance of the fellow will be certified by her/his academic/research supervisor.
3. In case that the fellow is admitted to a graduate program of another Department, the new Department accepting the student will examine and decide whether will grant the scholarship.
4. In case that the fellow interrupts her/his studies during the first year of study, the Department Council may request her/him to return the amount of the scholarship paid by the department.

G. Application procedure:
Interested applicants are requested to complete the special application form which could be found at http://ping.fm/C4cPj The application form should be submitted directly to the Coordinator of Postgraduate Studies of each Department separately by Friday, 15th of April 2011 at the following address:

Coordinator of Postgraduate Studies
Department of …………. (To be completed by the applicant accordingly)
University of Cyprus
P.O. Box 20537
1678 Nicosia
Cyprus

Because there is a possibility that the University of Cyprus will receive a great number of applications for granting a scholarship in relation with the number of announced positions and the amounts allocated for this purpose, the University does not necessarily imply that the scholarship will be granted even though the interested candidate is admitted in a postgraduate program.

Late applications will not be accepted.
