Fellowships in Thessaloniki, Greece for Recent College Graduates

Anatolia College in Thessaloniki, Greece, offers unique Fellowship opportunities for recent college graduates during the 2014-2015 academic year – especially those interested in applying their liberal arts, human and international relations skills in an educational setting.

For more than seventeen years, Anatolia has been hosting recent US college and university graduates for an academic year long fellowship – living and working with our students. From teaching English to directing theatre club, our Fellows have been involved with student life while they live their own unique experience in a country rich with history and opportunities to explore their own interests.

Anatolia offers a total of seven Anatolia Fellows for the 2014-2015 school year. We are seeking recent college graduates from a wide range of backgrounds to help enhance our students’ lives while they take part in their own Greek experience.

Anatolia is a school imbued with the best ideals of Greek and American education. Founded in 1886 by American protestant missionaries, Anatolia today serves nearly 2,000 Greek and Balkan students in grades K-12. Students are taught English extensively at all levels and the International Baccalaureate program for 11th and 12th graders is taught entirely in English. Anatolia has a long-standing reputation as one of the best schools in Greece, one where tradition and innovation go hand in hand. The Anatolia campus is also the home of the American College of Thessaloniki, a four-year NEASC-accredited university-level division where Fellows can take both undergraduate and graduate courses (one tuition-free each semester).

All fellows are provided housing on our beautiful 20+ acres campus on a hillside above Thessaloniki. Fellowships include full room and board, plus up to 1000 Euros for a round trip air economy ticket to/from Greece, and a monthly stipend of €400 (approximately $500 USD).

To apply, you must first attend a mandatory informational webinar (offered on multiple dates in December and January). Afterwards, you will receive a link to the online application and further instructions to complete your application (including how to submit your CV/Resume, Cover Letter, and two recommendation letters).
