Fulbright • Greece Scholarships for American CitizensApplications / Deadlines
Fulbright grants are in the form of financial stipends that allow students, scholars, artists and teachers to study, lecture or conduct independent research in Greece.
Fulbright•Greece has a wealth of information including the scholarship promotional materials in pdf which are here and here.
The fellowships are intended to support a new generation of academics. The program therefore applies only to persons, not to projects. The program is open to all disciplines, subjects and countries. Germans wishing to pursue a research stay abroad and foreign students intending to work in Germany in connection with their PhD may apply. Candidates may complete their entire PhD thesis in the host country if they so wish. The support provided by the Foundation is for a maximum period of 2 years.
Graduate students in the final year of writing the dissertation are eligible to apply. Stipend is $15,000 for one year.

The Modern Greek Studies Program has been endowed by the University with the generous privilege of offering a Fellowship to at least one Ph.D candidate in Modern Greek Studies per year.
Tuition is as a rule guaranteed for all the years of graduate studies, the first two years being by far the most expensive ones. As is the usual practice at Harvard University, after the end of the second academic year the stipend covering living expenses is replaced by teaching.
The Fellowship, which covers tuitions as well as living expenses, will be awarded to applicants on the basis of academic merit. Ph.D students may be admitted primarily to the Departments of the Classics or of Comparative Literature, or to any other Department of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University after arrangements with the Director of the Program.
