Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection
Hellenic Research Fellowship Program 2026-2027
Thanks to generous ongoing funding, the university library is pleased to offer the continuation of the Hellenic Research Fellowship Program (HRFP) for a 14th year. The HRFP, the only residential fellowship program west of the Mississippi in Hellenic studies, provides opportunities for visiting scholars and writers-in-residence to spend time in Sacramento, CA, conducting research and crafting their creative works using the resources of the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection. To date, nearly 50 fellows have benefitted from their residencies, which have contributed to a variety of scholarly and creative works.
The HRFP provides a limited number of fellowships in the form of reimbursement to help offset transportation and living expenses incurred in connection with the awards. The fellowship application deadline is April 10, 2026. No late applications will be considered. See below for full program information and application instructions.
Consisting of the holdings of the former Speros Basil Vryonis Center for the Study of Hellenism, the Tsakopoulos Hellenic Collection, part of the Donald & Beverly Gerth Special Collections and University Archives, is a research collection of international significance for the campus and Sacramento regional communities, as well as for scholars around the globe. Currently numbering over 83,000 volumes and 500 linear feet of personal papers and institutional archives, it comprises a large circulating book collection, journal holdings, electronic resources, non-print media, rare books, archival materials, art, and artifacts. With its focus on the Hellenic world, the collection contains materials from antiquity to the present across the social sciences and humanities relating to Greece, its neighboring countries, and the surrounding region. There is a broad representation of languages in the collection, with a rich assortment of primary source materials.
