This event is the largest of its kind in Greece and attracts hundreds of visitors each year.
An estimated 350 visitors stopped by the Fulbright Foundation’s booth and interacted with Fulbright Greece and and EducationUSA advisors, Nicholas Tourides (Athens) and Dimitrios Doutis (Thessaloniki). Fulbright Foundation’s educational advisors and volunteers were available to provide information on: studies in the United States, entrance tests such as TOEFL, SAT, GRE and GMAT, the Fulbright Scholarship program and answer students’ questions. Informational material was also available.

This year the Fulbright Foundation in Greece also organized two parallel sessions on U.S. Graduate Studies & the Fulbright Scholarship Program and on MBA Programs in the U.S. The latter session was presented by Ms. Emily Bentz, Admission Officer, Fisher College of Business, Ohio State University.
