The Program in Hellenic Studies, with the support of the Stanley J. Seeger Hellenic Fund, offers a limited number of visiting fellowships to Greek scholars, writers, and translators who wish to spend time in residence at Princeton pursuing independent projects, free of teaching and other obligations. The fellowships are awarded on a competitive basis. The primary intent of these fellowships is to provide scholars and writers with the opportunity to concentrate on their own work in an academic environment without any distractions. Visiting fellows are expected to participate in the intellectual life of the University and the activities of the Program.
Every effort is made to introduce visiting fellows to colleagues in their respective disciplines.
Graduate students and recent recipients of the Ph.D. degree without an academic appointment are not eligible for these fellowships. The Committee considers applications from individuals who have already held a Stanley J. Seeger research fellowship or another appointment through the Program in Hellenic Studies. However, in all but exceptional circumstances, a period of at least five years must elapse between two appointments or fellowship awards. Fellows are required to be in residence at Princeton throughout the term of their fellowship. No office facilities or any kind of secretarial assistance are available.
