Fulbright Scholarship

“In Greece, scholars and students who have been supported by Fulbright have made a big impact on society.

There are also countless other Fulbright alumni working in small or medium-sized businesses, non-governmental organizations, schools and research institutions that may be less known to the general audience, however, impact the world we live in without us knowing.�
