STANLEY J. SEEGER FELLOWSHIPS FOR STUDY AND/OR RESEARCH IN GREECE SUMMER 2012
The Program in Hellenic Studies offers a limited number of Stanley J. Seeger Fellowships for Princeton undergraduate students whose work would benefit from summer travel for study and/or research in Greece, Cyprus, or other Mediterranean countries relevant to the study of Classical, Byzantine, or Modern Greece. Undergraduate students from all Princeton departments are welcome to apply.
Undergraduate students applying for support may choose from among a wide range of opportunities: summer study programs in Greece, archaeological work, independent research and travel, modern Greek language courses, senior-thesis-related work, creative projects in the arts, summer employment, internships, etc. The Program in Hellenic Studies has prepared a listing entitled Study in Greece containing contact information for selected programs and institutions. Interested students may view the guide online or come to the Program office to browse through our summer program files, some of which include reports by former participants in summer study programs.
Before applying to the Program in Hellenic Studies for fellowship support, students are required to explore other sources of support, including departmental funds, the President’s Fund, Class funds, etc. Applicants should refer to Financing Study in the Mediterranean. Every effort is made to make our funds go as far as possible. Hence, support is limited to the least expensive airfare, tuition costs (if applicable), and a modest contribution towards the cost of living and traveling abroad. The Committee does not normally make more than two awards to the same individual within any four-year period. Graduating seniors are normally not eligible for these fellowships.
