We know you are all wondering about this year’s\u00a0Summer Study in Athens<\/strong>. As you may know, Boston University has now canceled summer study abroad programs. However, this will not keep you from experiencing Greek culture AND studying in Greece in 2021.We are planning a virtual Summer Study in 2020 that will help you visit Greece in 2021! To that end, we are planning to offer the following.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An online course or courses in Greek culture THIS SUMMER that can be transferred to Boston University (and for which scholarships will be available: see below).<\/li>\n
  2. Anyone who takes and passes the online course(s) offered will be guaranteed admission and a scholarship to next years (2021) Summer Study in Athens.<\/li>\n
  3. An additional scholarship of up to $1,000 (applied to the Summer Study 2020 online courses cost) for anyone who registers for a Modern Greek course for this fall semester (Example: CG111).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Essentially, our goal is to allow you to take an online course\u00a0at little or no cost this summer\u00a0<\/strong>and<\/strong> <\/em>to receive an\u00a0additional scholarship and admission to the program for the summer of 2021.\u00a0<\/b>Keep a lookout for more messages about courses this summer (and visiting Athens next year)! And stay healthy and safe.<\/p>\n

    With best wishes,<\/p>\n
