The Department of Labour (EURES Network) of the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance of the Republic of Cyprus and European Social Fund will co-finance the intern. Each Eurodyssey trainee hosted in Cyprus will be granted a monthly scholarship of €500. The intern will receive the final payment towards the end of the internship on the double condition that they submit their internship report and that the accommodation used is not damaged. The scholarship will be paid directly to the trainee.

The intern will be provided with accommodation (single room in a shared apartment) and rent will be paid directly to the landlord by the Department of Labour. The intern will have to pay the bills such as water, heating, electricity and internet access. It is thus not possible for the trainee to stay anywhere else.

* The scholarship amount is indexed to the cost of living in the country of destination.
