About Us.
The European Academic Foundation (EAF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering intellectual exchange among Europe's most talented students. Every year, a small cohort of individuals who can be expected to contribute to European society in a meaningful way is accepted into the fellowship. Subsequently, the EAF supports the cohort through academic retreats, tailored mentoring, financial aid and a tightly-knit network. For more information, you can reach out to our team.
The Fellowship.
The fellowship supports exceptional students from all disciplines. The program spans the duration of the fellows' studies and includes three main components:
- We organize regular, fully funded academic retreats that allow fellows to broaden their horizons and meet other fellows.
- We provide meaningful mentorship by pairing fellows with world-class academics who provide close guidance and support
- We offer financial aid to enable fellows to focus on their studies, regardless of their economic background

Our mentors are young academics and professionals who offer their guidance and support to our fellows.
Apply.
Students from all academic fields with a strong personal connection to Europe are invited to apply, especially those who are early in their studies.
We strongly encourage students from traditionally underrepresented groups to apply.
The application process consists of a written application through our application portal. Our application committee will invite selected candidates for one round of interviews, after which final decisions will be made.
We strive to select the most talented and dedicated students and take socioeconomic factors into account.
