About the Athens Fellowship
The Athens Fellowship is the premiere international leadership program for university students which focuses on Greece.
Every year, the Athens Fellowship offers outstanding undergraduate and graduate students of Hellenic heritage who are studying government, political science, international relations, economics, business, journalism and related fields, a chance to see for themselves the new Greece — and learn how modern leaders are working at the highest levels of government and business to take this growing economic and political power to the next level — while experiencing the challenges many leaders face during long days of intensive, fast-paced briefings on a constantly changing array of issues with global implications.
The first of its kind, this exciting and innovative program is conducted in partnership with Greece’s Secretary General of Communication Panos Livadas, our host in Athens since 2007.
From its beginning, this prestigious program has attracted outstanding students from leading universities and colleges from across the United States. Previous Athens Fellows include students from Brown, Carnegie-Mellon, Georgetown, Harvard, Princeton, Vanderbilt and Yale Universities, Boston College, Dartmouth, Dickinson, Miami of Ohio, Occidental and the Universities of Chicago, Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania as well as students from Arizona State, George Washington University, Hollins, James Madison, New York University, MIT, Stanford, UCLA and the University of Virginia.
