Amici di Bologna Fellowship

The 2015 edition of the Amici di Bologna Symposium and Celebration was an outstanding success, not only in terms of attendance with some 270 registered participants, but also for the record net surplus that was generated by the sponsorships and the revenues from the onsite silent auctions. Thanks to the generosity of alumni and friends, the proceeds were used to support the first Alumni meet Students panel held in Washington,DC in April 2016, as well as eight new fellowships for academic year 2016-17. Four fellowship recipients are first-year students at SAIS Europe and four are bona fide Bolognesi who are completing their degrees in Washington, DC.

The 1st year Amici di Bologna Fellowship recipients are:

Castro Amponsah-Yeboah (Ghana)
Mona Damian (Germany/Australia)
Khrystian Pereira (Brazil)
Melanie Snail (USA)

The 2nd year Amici di Bologna Fellowship recipients are:

Fatima Al Zahra Hewaidi (Libya/Canada)
Ulla-Stina Henttonen (Finland)
Fatima Nanavati (Canada)
Sarah Piccini (Italy/USA)

Members of the Amici di Bologna Committee had the opportunity to meet some of the 2^nd year Amici Fellowship recipients in Bologna during Alumni Weekend 2016. Click here to see their group photo.
