"Studying with a Scholarship" has proven that a single idea can transform the lives of countless individuals. It underscores our commitment to supporting those from vulnerable social groups who encounter barriers in pursuing their academic aspirations due to economic hardships. With unwavering faith in the power of education and the invaluable collaboration of major public and private educational institutions, our organization offers a pathway to a brighter future.
Since its inception, "Studying with a Scholarship" has awarded 526 scholarships, providing hope and opportunity to deserving individuals.
As we look forward to the upcoming academic year, our goal remains unchanged: to continue supporting these individuals and fulfilling as many needs as possible.
Award
The "Quality Islets" Award celebrates remarkable initiatives that demonstrate significant collective and qualitative social impact, serving as inspirational models for society, particularly for the younger generation. Among these exemplars is the Non-Governmental Organization Equal Society - Society of Equal Opportunities, recognized for its "Studying with a Scholarship" program, honored in the historic halls of the Old Parliament by the former President of the Republic.
Through this pioneering program, individuals with exceptional skills and talents from economically disadvantaged backgrounds receive full scholarships for undergraduate and postgraduate studies at prestigious public and private educational institutions.
For Equal Society, receiving the prestigious "Quality Islets" distinction serves as a profound motivation for the future. The "Studying with a Scholarship" initiative remains committed to supporting those unable to pursue their academic aspirations due to challenging circumstances. We eagerly anticipate witnessing more scholarship recipients fulfilling their educational dreams and embarking on a promising new chapter in their lives!

Alata Argyroula
"Thanks to Equal Society and IST College, one of my dreams has become a reality!
For many years, I wanted to pursue a postgraduate program, but some difficulties held me back. I always looked at the scholarships available in Greece and thought about what it would be like if I received one myself. So I started to submit some applications... One of them was to Equal Society, and I was accepted! The MBA program I attend is amazing and has helped me a lot, both in my career and in my personal development. I am very happy to have been accepted and I really thank them for the opportunities they give to young people! I hope you continue like this and make more and more people happy!!"
