2025 Educational Scholarship

The Panchiaki Korais Society has an over 100 year history of promoting philanthropic, cultural and educational endeavors. As part of our 2024 Scholarship program, we were delighted to award scholarships totaling $32,500 to 22 deserving students of Chian ancestry attending a college or university in the 2024-25 academic year. We hope the amount of the awards helped them with the financial burden of attending higher education.

We are excited to announce we are continuing our scholarship program in 2025 as follows:

• Panchiaki Korais Educational Scholarship:  Up to four scholarships of $2,500 each shall be awarded to deserving students of Chian descent who are either graduating high school or currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree. Additional awards may be granted based on the quantity and quality of applications and available funds.

• James Pantelidis Memorial Scholarship: This additional $2,500 award shall be granted to a recipient of the Panchiaki Korais Educational Scholarship who distinguishes themselves by demonstrating exceptional love and dedication to their family, Church, and Greek and Chian heritage.

• Aristotle Mirones, Sr. Memorial Scholarship: A separate award shall be granted to one or more students of Chian ancestry who are challenged with a physical disability, helping them achieve their educational and career aspirations.

Eligible students must possess a cumulative “B” average or better who are either graduating high school and heading into or continuing an undergraduate or graduate program in the Fall of 2025. Aristotle Mirones, Sr. Memorial Scholarship applications do not have a GPA requirement.

To provide opportunities to more students, those who were awarded a scholarship from our 2024 program are not eligible this year but are welcome to participate the following year.

Scholarship recipients are encouraged to be present to personally accept their awards at our Chios Legacy Gala which will be held on January 10, 2026.
