Scholarship Banquet
The Annual Scholarship Banquet is a unique event during which we salute our students and recognize their talents and accomplishments. The focus is to grant more than financial awards; it is to publicly express with pride our affirmation of the efforts and achievements that have brought the students to this point. We celebrate with anticipation all that they will become in the future as they actualize the full potential of their blessings and abilities. The Annual Scholarship Banquet strengthens bonds within the Greek Orthodox Community by bringing people together to praise our youth’s successes and applaud those who will take on significant leadership roles in various sectors of society.
The Annual Scholarship Banquet also provides the opportunity for the scholarship awards program to express gratitude to our donors for their generous and continuing support of our Hellenic youth.
Our Message to the Award Recipients:

Their presence propels you forward into the next chapters of your life, where you will proudly reflect the values of Hellenism and Orthodoxy to the world. We envision you as a beacon of our community, guiding future generations with the same values and spirit that inspire us today. May you become a pillar of strength, steering our community towards an even brighter future.”
