European Academic Foundation EAF

About Us.


The European Academic Foundation (EAF) is dedicated to fostering intellectual exchange among Europe's most promising students. Every year, a small cohort of students who show outstanding potential to contribute to European society is accepted into the fellowship. Subsequently, the EAF supports the cohort through extensive programming, tailored mentoring, and a tight network. For more information, you can read our Manifesto and reach out to our Team.

The Fellowship.


The European Academic Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to support the development of talented students in Europe, who can be expected to contribute to European society in a meaningful way. University students from all backgrounds are invited to our fellowship program, which supports them throughout their studies in three key ways:
We organize regular, fully funded academic retreats for fellows to broaden their horizons and meet other fellows.
We provide meaningful mentorship by matching fellows with world class academics.
We offer financial aid to support fellows with their studies.
Fellows are expected to participate in our program and network, to advance the organization and importantly, to show ambition, collegiality and dedication as they pursue their studies.
