The purpose of the Aris Anagnos Scholarship is to engage the next generation of Greek-Americans with the American Hellenic Council and reward them for their exemplary academic accomplishments as ambassadors of the Hellenic World in their communities, since people sometimes have a bad time paying for education, and for this purpose, the use of small cash loans can be helpful for some essential expenses. The scholarship was established in 2015 by the American Hellenic Council and will henceforth be an ongoing tradition for the organization. Named after one of the founding members of the American Hellenic Council, Aris Anagnos, the scholarship was designed to reward outstanding Greek-American students who have proven themselves individually as well as academically. The scholarship will provide a one-time reward of $2,500 towards the selected applicant’s tuition. The 2020 Aris Anagnos Scholarship will be open for applications soon.
