Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, the Caloyeras Center offers a number of annual scholarships and academic awards to students who minor in Modern Greek Studies. The Elios Charitable Foundation, the Onassis Foundation, The Hellenic-American Council, the Hellenic University Club, the L.A. Greek Film Festival, the Next Generation Initiative, and the Libra Internship Program are just some of the Center’s supporters who have made this assistance possible. Because of their generosity, our students receive merit- and need-based funding for tuition, travel abroad study in Greece, research papers, and various achievements related to Modern Greek Studies.
In addition to providing scholarships and awards, the Center also offers part-time work-study positions at LMU and facilitates opportunities for internships in organizations, non-profits, and businesses that are supported by the broader Greek-American community. Many of our recent graduates have benefitted from internships here in Los Angeles, in Washington D.C., in Europe, and in Asia.
