HBA-USA Scholarship Program 2026

The HBA-USA Scholarship Program is offered by the Hellenic Bioscientific Association in the USA to support the academic and professional development of emerging talent in the biomedical sciences. It is aimed at students and trainees of Hellenic ancestry who are building careers in research, medicine, and related bioscientific fields.

Based on recent programme postings, the scholarship provides awards of up to 1,000 US dollars. Funding is intended to help recipients take part in scientific meetings, workshops, summer schools, internships, or fellowships hosted by institutions in the United States or internationally. This makes the programme especially useful for trainees seeking short-term academic enrichment, networking, and research exposure rather than full degree funding.

The programme is open to undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral trainees who are enrolled at institutions in the United States or Greece. Applicants must be of Hellenic ancestry, and the subject focus is clearly in the biomedical sciences, including areas such as biology and medical science. Physicians and biomedical scientists are also included among the target applicant groups.

In general, applicants should expect to submit materials demonstrating their enrolment, academic or research standing, and the relevance of the proposed meeting, workshop, internship, or fellowship to their development in biomedical sciences. Candidates should review the programme information from HBA-USA and follow the instructions provided for the relevant application cycle.

This is best understood as a small competitive scholarship or travel/training support scheme for bioscience trainees, rather than a full tuition scholarship. If you are a Hellenic trainee in biomedical sciences looking for support to participate in a professional or academic opportunity, this programme may be a valuable source of funding.
