The first year of implementation of the “Latsis Foundation Study Abroad Scholarships” Programme, a joint initiative of the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation and Deree – American College of Greece, has been successfully completed. The Programme provides deserving undergraduate Parallel Studies students (Deree students, who study in parallel at Greek Public Universities) and full-time undergraduate Deree students the opportunity to pursue scholarships that will enable them to travel and participate in study abroad programmes at world-renowned universities around the world during the summer or Fall/Spring semester. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, scholars had the opportunity to enjoy this unique academic experience, both in-person and remotely, to acquire useful skills and to broaden their horizons and develop their global citizenship through the multicultural nature of leading universities around the world.
