Graduates of AHEPAcademy on Campus are eligible for further mentoring, access to a nationwide network of internships, and participation in continuing internet-based networking and learning opportunities throughout the end of high school, college, graduate school, and beyond.

AHEPAcademy is sponsored by the American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA) through its network of over 300 local Chapters across the United States. Each active AHEPA Chapter is eligible to sponsor one student for participation in this program next summer.  AHEPAcademy on Campus is conducted in cooperation with the American Hellenic Institute.

Interested Applicants should write to info@AHEPAcademy.com to indicate their interest in applying for the program.  Please include your name and address, the name of your high school, the name of your local AHEPA Chapter, or the name of the Greek Orthodox Church that you attend if you do not know the name of your local AHEPA Chapter.
