The John A. Lee Memorial Scholarship

Dr. John A. Lee, an American born in Minnesota, spent years teaching in France, and was a founder of the American Graduate School in Paris (at the time called American Graduate School of International Relations and Diplomacy) in 1994 and its President until he passed away in 2000.

Dr. Lee believed in teaching international relations in a new way, bringing together humanistic and global concerns. His legacy to the American Graduate School in Paris includes the school's particular focus on allowing students from diverse national, cultural and social background to benefit from an excellent education. It is in his memory that this scholarship is awarded.

Amount of the scholarship:
