The Pancretan Association of America (PAA) Cretan Scholars Summer Program at the American College of Greece will take place in Greece from June 19 to July 03, 2022.
ELIGIBILITY
Eligible applicants must be:
• between 18 and 26 years of age

Current PAA members will be given priority for acceptance to the 2022 PAA Cretan Scholars Summer Program and will be eligible to apply for scholarship.
Non-PAA members who fulfill the aforementioned eligibility criteria for participation may apply for the program, but they will not be eligible for PAA scholarships.

The cost of the program is US$3,650.00 per participant. The price covers all expenses in Greece, but does not cover airfare from the United States to Greece and back. ACG handles all financial transactions.
