Applications are now being accepted for the Greek Diaspora Fellowship Program (GDFP) to support collaborative academic projects between Greek higher education institutions and Greek scholars in the diaspora.
Process: The GDFP has a two-sided application process: Greek universities submit a project request online to host a scholar, while the scholars submit applications to join a roster of available candidates.
Eligibility: Any degree-conferring higher education institution in Greece can serve as a host and submit a project request.
Scholars must be born in Greece or Cyprus, or hold Greek or Cypriot citizenship; live in the United States, Canada, Australia, South Africa or New Zealand; and work in an accredited college or university in one of those countries. Scholars must hold a terminal degree in their field and may hold any academic rank.
Benefits: Greek Diaspora Fellows receive a $150 per day stipend, supplemental health insurance and roundtrip international airfare. Project materials allowance may also be requested to support activities at the host institution.
Activities: Greek host institutions can request that the scholar participate in projects in curriculum co-development, collaborative research and/or graduate or undergraduate student research mentoring and teaching.
Timeline: The deadline to receive both scholar applications and host institution project requests is July 31, 2019. Selection decisions for Cycle 3 will be made in November 2019; project visits will take place in 2020.
