Last year Cypriot students attending universities both abroad and at home were given greater financial backing from the government to the tune of €4 million.
Finance Minister Makis Keravnos said that money concerned the use of unspent money from the state student care fund.
It was given to students as “a meal allowance of €1,092 and a living allowance of €500”.
