The Scholars' Association was established in 1986 on the initiative of the first scholars of the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, and is open for enrollment to all scholars who have successfully completed their studies.
The Association currently numbers more than 1,700 members who have completed the Programme of Scholarships for Hellenes and has recently included all the non-Greek scholars who have been awarded research grants and scholarships. These scholars hold significant positions in the scientific and artistic communities of the countries where they live and work.
The Scholars' Association holds the opinion that their active involvement could well prove to be highly beneficial for Greece.
The Association aims to act as a forum, where its members can present their activities and provide a communication channel between each other, as well as between them and the Foundation.
