On the occasion of their 20th anniversary in 2003, the Bologna Class of 1983 decided to celebrate this special reunion by establishing an endowment at the Bologna Center which ensures a yearly Class of 1983 LEAD (Leadership in Emerging & Advancing Democracies) Fellowship.

Over the years, the fundraising campaign continued to grow tremendously. Thanks to the incredible generosity of class members and the tireless work of the class leaders (Lieve Lowet, Carmela Vetri, Rick Gildea, Jackie Mazza and Joanne Celens) in April 2023 they went down in the history of the Johns Hopkins University as the first class to achieve an incredible fundraising goal: bring their scholarship capital to a million dollars forever covering full tuition for a student at the Bologna Center every year.

We hope that this incredible record will inspire other classes to follow in their footsteps, so to give bright students the possibility of affording a SAIS Europe education, notwithstanding their financial situation.

Grazie di cuore ragazzi del 1983!

Since 2004, 21 students have benefitted from the Class of 1983 Fellowship:
