Democritus University: €2,695,500 approved for student housing allowance
The grant covers eligible applicants for the 2025–26 academic year. No payment date or new application window was announced.
On 9 November, the Education Ministry announced approval of a €2,695,500 grant to Democritus University of Thrace to pay the student housing allowance for the 2025–26 academic year. The grant comes from the ministry’s 2026 ordinary budget. The approval funds the university; the announcement does not confirm transfers to beneficiaries.
The university’s annual allowance is €2,000, or €2,500 when the shared accommodation conditions are met. For students admitted in 2021–22 or later, the special income threshold is €40,000, with the applicable increases for dependent children. The last application window announced by the university for that academic year closed on 22 September.
Separately, the ministry says it is pursuing two student residence complexes with 350 beds each, in Komotini and Alexandroupoli. The 700 beds are planned capacity.
What to check if you have already applied
If you applied, start by checking your application status in the housing allowance portal. If you need clarification about assessment or payment, contact the relevant DUTH office and have your application number ready.
If you did not apply, the funding decision does not automatically make you a beneficiary. DUTH had announced an initial window from 30 June to 31 July and reopened it from 17 to 22 September for people who had missed the first window.
