PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation offers $250,000 Scholarship Grants this Year

April 9, 2008  Our Foundation's Scholarship Awards are offered to high school graduates who are prepared to continue their studies at a college or university. In doing so we provide an opportunity to achieve a higher level of education that provides a platform for greater accomplishments in life. The Foundation also considers applicants among students already attending a university or college.

It is our intent that several Awards be offered annually, ranging up to $10,000 each, depending on the number of recipients, the level of contributions and the resulting size of our Scholarship Fund in any given year.

Each year during the Fall, a social gathering is held, organized by the Foundation, for presenting the Awards and honoring the recipients. The event is open to the general public and attended by the Award recipients, their families and friends, our donors, Foundation officials and dignitaries from the U.S. and Greece.

The Foundation's 2008 Awards Gala will be held on Saturday evening, November 15, 2008, at the University Club of Chicago.

Please print, complete and submit the application together with all requested documentation and a photograph of yourself to our office by mail.
