EDUCATION
|
The AHEPA Educational Foundation continues in its
pursuit to develop new and more responsive ways to meet our
responsibility in creating a better learning environment for our
children today ... and tomorrow. The foundation offers scholarships
on a broad, national basis to a wide variety of students. Recipients
are traditional and non-traditional students; high school seniors;
seminarians, including those entering Holy Cross Greek School of
Theology; or college and post-graduate students looking to become
tomorrow's leaders.
The preservation of Hellenic Studies programs on our campuses is an
important issue for the AHEPA Educational Foundation. A subcommittee
of the foundation, the Hellenic Cultural Commission, actively works
in the support of Hellenism and the study of the classics at our
universities. In addition, programs such as Journey to Greece and
Washington Internships have been sponsored by the foundation to help
educate our young Greek- Americans.
AHEPA's commitment to education has been well documented throughout
its history. Over $4 million is endowed at the local, district and
national levels toward the use of scholarships and a half-million
dollars is awarded annually. Thousands of young men and women
throughout the United States and Canada have benefited as recipients
of AHEPA scholarships at these various levels. The most famous
recipient, perhaps, is political commentator and analyst George
Stephanopolos. |
