The Heritage Greece Program is now accepting applications from Deree – The American College of Greece students who wish to join us as ACG Peers for 2025!
Heritage Greece is an educational program designed to enable Greek American and Greek Canadian college students to immerse themselves in the Greek language and culture while connecting with their Hellenic ancestry. This unique program has been developed by the National Hellenic Society and is hosted by Deree – The American College of Greece.
ACG Peers who complete a Heritage Greece session* earn a
EU1,000 Scholarship for Study Abroad
at one of ACG’s partner universities around the world.
* Students who serve for both sessions in a given year earn an EU1500 scholarship to study abroad.
Peers also enjoy:
- A comprehensive educational and cultural experience
- Unique guided field trips within Attica and beyond
- Covered expenses for all meals, travel and accommodation
- Living with other peers and program participants at the ACG student residences.
ACG Peers and North American participants experience Greece together and form long-lasting bonds of friendship. Peers also have the opportunity to enhance their leadership, communication, and organization skills by cooperating with fellow peers and helping execute a complex and demanding itinerary involving large groups of students with different backgrounds, tastes and preferences.
Heritage Greece is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who want to grow outside their comfort zone, take on new challenges, and experience a multicultural setting.
This year’s Program will take place in two sessions:
Session A: June 8-23, 2024 June 7-22, 2025
Session B: July 6-21, 2024 July 5-20, 2025
Participants can apply to join one or both sessions.
As an ACG Peer, you will have the opportunity to learn with and from North American participants while:
- Exploring Athenian life and helping our guests communicate in everyday situations
- Touring important archaeological and cultural sites
- Experiencing Greece beyond Athens
Deree students who have participated in previous Heritage Greece sessions are welcome to apply again. However, the scholarship will not be re-offered to these students.
Applicants must be fluent in the Greek language, and must be available for the duration of the Heritage Greece Session in which they participate.
