Hear From Our Fellows
Our fellowship program is a unique journey that seamlessly combines academic excellence, cultural immersion, and personal growth. Read what our recent Fellows have said about their unforgettable time in Slovenia:
“This program is one of the best things I’ve ever done because it encourages personal growth, lifelong friendships, and a deeper cultural connection. It’s a chance to visit your homeland, discover your roots, and grow as an individual. Who wouldn’t want that?” – Miranda Kreinbrink-Gačnik, ASEF Fellow 2025
“The trip has been pretty life-changing for me. I’ve never been to Slovenia, and actually never been to Europe before, so finally seeing the land where my ancestors lived is pretty amazing.” – Hayden Leach, ASEF Fellow 2025
“If you’re considering applying for the program, you should definitely do it. It’s been an even greater experience than I could have imagined. I’ve gained so much from it, not only academically but also socially. Meeting other people of Slovenian descent who collectively value the culture and connecting with them here has truly been an amazing experience.” – Elizabeth Stupica, ASEF Fellow 2025
