How the check works

The programme is for 2026 Panhellenic exam entrants registering for the first time at a public university in Greece.

Applications have been extended through 16 November 2026 at 23:59. If eligible applications exceed the places, OPEKA will hold an electronic lottery.

Answer based on the applicant's details and the LAE/OPEKA-entitled person who will submit the application.

This is a pre-check of the published main conditions. OPEKA reviews the application, and meeting the conditions does not guarantee an award when applications exceed the available places.
