Senator Nicholas Petris Scholarship
Constantine Mitsotakis Graduate Scholarship
Funded by the Tsakopoulos Foundation and other donors; Program has organized seven Hellenic Studies exhibits in the past ten years (including Macedonian folk costumes, Greek iconography, WWII occupation and resistance, and recently, WWI). The major challenge of the program is the lack of research funding and faculty hires to enlarge the course offerings.
Recent initiatives in curriculum, collaborative projects, outreach, educational and research support.

The Hellenic Studies Program has organized musical performances, conferences, and has collaborated with other universities to promote Hellenic Studies.
