From its early years, the Hellenic Observatory sought to support students in their desire to carry out postgraduate and doctoral studies with a focus on various aspects of contemporary Greece in the social sciences. To fulfil this, it benefitted from significant studentships: The Bodossaki Foundation, Mr Grigoris Tzirakian and his family, OPAP, the Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics SA. The holders of these scholarships have since moved on to become senior academics, government ministers, key policy advisors, etc. Below you can find the scholars hosted by the Observatory throughout the years.
