2009-2010 Fulbright Awards
Greek Scholarship Program – Artists and Art Scholars
The Fulbright Foundation in Greece was established in 1948 and takes pride on operating the oldest Fulbright Program in Europe and the second oldest continuously operating Program in the world. It is a non profit, non-political, autonomous, bi-national institution which awards grants to both Greek and U.S. citizens.
Since 1948, the Fulbright Foundation has offered free advising services for studies in the U.S. to thousands of individuals and has awarded grants to more than 2,600 Greek and 1,700 U.S. citizens. The grants are in the form of financial stipends, which allow students, teachers, artists and scholars to study, lecture or conduct research in the U.S. and Greece respectively.
The Fulbright Program, the premier international educational exchange program throughout the world, promotes mutual understanding and collaborations between U.S. and international educational institutions and individuals. The Program fosters cross-cultural personal interactions in an atmosphere of global awareness, academic freedom and intellectual integrity. Grantees are selected on the basis of academic excellence, professional experience, personal character and ability and willingness to share ideas and experiences with people of diverse cultures.
The Fulbright Program has brought together some of the finest minds from around the globe. More than 140 countries have participated in the Program since its inception in 1946 and more than 96,000 U.S. citizens and 158,000 participants from other countries have benefited from the Fulbright experience. Many Fulbright scholars are young professionals who will return to positions of leadership in their home countries. Fulbright alumni include Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners, prime ministers and heads of state, professors and scientists, ambassadors and artists, Supreme Court Justices and CEOs.
