Scholarships 2025-2026

Scholarship Committee Update

The Scholarship Committee came together for a productive and inspiring meeting, reviewing a record-breaking 78 scholarship submissions. We are grateful for the time, care, and dedication each committee member brought to this important process.

A heartfelt thank you to St. Nectarios Church of Roslindale for graciously hosting and providing a welcoming space for the work.

We are excited to share that 9 recipients have been selected for this year’s 9 scholarships.

We would also like to extend our appreciation to Katerina of Greek International in West Roxbury for generously donating a delicious platter for the evening.

Congratulations to all who applied, and thank you to everyone who continues to support and uplift our community’s future leaders.
