Background
The Kokkalis Program strives to support individuals committed to invigorating the public sector in Southeastern and East-Central Europe by providing fellowships for study at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government. To date, the Kokkalis Program has sponsored 42 students in degree programs at the Kennedy School. Furthermore, the Kokkalis Program has made possible the training of nearly 250 public sector and non-profit leaders from Southeast Europe in Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education programs. It has also funded 50 internships and research projects relative to the region, sponsored five senior Kokkalis Scholars, and supported visiting scholars at programs throughout the University.
