Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program (GDFP)

In spring 2016, the Fulbright Foundation Greece secured collaboration with the Institute of International Education (IIE) under the nomination of Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program (GDFP).

The Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program, which is funded by the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and will be implemented and administered by the Institute of International Education, aims to support 40 U.S.- and Canada-based Greek-born academics to partner with Greek Universities over two application cycles. The selected Fellows will work in the areas of curriculum co-development, collaborative research and/or graduate student teaching/mentoring. You can read more about this exciting opportunity in the attached flyer or on the following websites:

The program is based on IIE’s successful Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program (CADFP).

The Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program application cycle opened on June 1 - official deadline:
the call for project requests/scholar applications will be open until 11:59 PM EDT on September 1, 2016.

You may want to join IIE at a “How to Apply” webinar to be held on Wednesday, June 15 at 9 AM EDT/ 4 PM EET so you a better sense of how the program works.

Any questions about the program/application process can be forwarded to greekdiaspora@iie.org.

In addition, we would like to bring to your attention a new program for Greek citizens, launched in academic year 2016-2017, the Doctoral Dissertation Visiting Research Students grant. This program, meeting the need for short-term programs in the United States, is addressed to students currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program at a Greek institution of higher education who would benefit from a research period in the U.S., either for one semester or 6 months. READ MORE

We welcome any further enquiries.
