AHEPA 2017/2018 Academic Year Scholarship Season is now OPEN!

WASHINGTON, DC – The American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA), a leading membership-based association for the nation’s millions of American citizens of Greek heritage and Philhellenes, announces the opening of the 2017/2018 Academic Year scholarship season.

“Our immigrant forebears understood the importance of attaining a quality education and sacrificed greatly so their children could achieve the American Dream,” Supreme President Zachariades said. “Today, with the cost of education skyrocketing, the pursuit of one’s academic dreams may seem daunting. AHEPA is redoubling its efforts to ensure as many opportunities as possible exist to help students achieve their dreams.”

He continued, “AHEPA is deeply grateful to the generous benefactors of our endowments, who understand the importance of education and the positive impact AHEPA has had in the community when it comes to providing educational opportunities for our youth.”

The mission of AHEPA is to promote the ancient Greek ideals of Education, Philanthropy, Civic Responsibility, and Family and Individual Excellence through community service and volunteerism.
