PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation Application Increase

The PanHellenic Scholarship Foundation has seen a significant increase in applications this year due party to a tighter economy, as well as the prestige associated with each scholarship award. “The high criteria set by the Foundation, such as the minimum GPA of the 3.5 requirement, make these awards a highly prestigious feat for someone to receive” stated Chris P. Tomaras, Chairman of the Foundation. This year the Foundation will offer a total of $250,000 in scholarship awards.
The Foundation invests in the future of America with Greek-Americans with high academics  and Hellenic values.  These students have a high possibility to become tomorrow’s leaders and contributors to their community and to this great country.
