About the Scholarship

The P.A. Margaronis Scholarship Fund, administered by the directors of the Educational Foundation for over twenty years,  has supported AHEPA recipients who have demonstrated academic and extracurricular excellence, require financial support and are persons of Hellenic descent.

John George Tsitsos Scholarship

The AHEPA Educational Foundation is pleased to announce the John George Tsitsos Scholarship Fund, which reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the education of deserving postgraduate students. 

Each year, the Order of AHEPA is honored to make these awards available in memory of John George Tsitsos, providing vital financial assistance aimed at easing the burden of tuition costs for selected continuing post graduate students, fellows research programs and or Seminarian studies at Hellenic College / Holy Cross Seminary.

The Scholarship Fund is designed to cover all or part of annual tuition expenses for students pursuing post graduate degrees. Additionally, it offers grants for research initiatives at recognized institutions of higher education, thus fostering an environment conducive to academic innovation and scholarly achievement. By enabling financial support directly to educational institutions, the fund ensures that all awarded funds are allocated specifically for academic purposes, rather than being disbursed to individuals. This structure underlines our dedication to promoting educational advancement in a targeted and effective manner.

The John George Tsitsos Scholarship Fund is particularly focused on assisting individuals of Greek ethnicity or descent. We believe that supporting this vibrant community not only enriches the lives of the students but also contributes to the collective knowledge and cultural heritage of Greek Americans. The scholarship aims to advance and promote studies in key areas of importance, including but not limited to:

  • Science: Encouraging exploration and understanding of scientific principles and innovations that can address contemporary challenges.
  • Mathematics: Supporting the analytical and problem-solving skills essential for various academic and professional fields.
  • Computers: Enhancing knowledge and expertise in computer science and information technology, which are critical for modern advancements.
  • Technology: Fostering a deeper understanding of technological applications and their implications across different sectors.
  • Physics: Promoting studies that delve into the fundamental principles governing the physical universe, paving the way for new insights and discoveries.
  • Medical Research: Supporting research that seeks to improve healthcare outcomes and advance medical sciences, crucial for the well-being of society.
  • Seminary Students at Hellenic College/Holy Cross Seminary: Assisting future leaders of the clergy who will serve and guide the Greek Orthodox community in the United States and abroad.

The AHEPA Educational Foundation encourages prospective candidates to take advantage of the John George Tsitsos Scholarship Fund as an opportunity to further their education and contribute to their fields of study. We invite all eligible individuals to carefully review the application procedures and criteria outlined by the foundation. This initiative not only supports the educational aspirations of the recipients but also enriches the broader community by fostering a new generation of leaders, innovators, and scholars within the framework of Greek heritage and culture.

For further information, please visit the AHEPA Educational Foundation’s official website www.ahepa.org/education  to access the necessary resources and details regarding the application process.
